Recovery Home

The Recovery Place

The bridge between treatment and freedom from addiction

Toronto's First Private Recovery Home

Founded by Jay Pasternack, The Recovery Place is a recovery home in Toronto for men of all demographics who suffer from substance abuse and addiction. At our three abstinence based sober living houses, we provide one-on-one and group counselling along with 24-hour access to support staff.

Our Sober Living Services

Rather than restrict functioning in our recovery home, we encourage independence and healthy decision making. We believe these to be essential aspects to recovery from addiction. Daily support is provided to help clients reach their full potential. In addition we offer a variety of services in our sober living community, such as:

Individual Counselling Sessions

Residents work closely with an addictions counsellor in our sober living houses to continue their progress. We provide ongoing goal setting, life skills, motivation building, and other principles that were introduced in treatment. Our recovery home is a supportive environment where clients can practise these skills without judgement.

Group Support

Daily group sessions are held in our transition houses by addictions counsellors. Sessions include goal setting, meditation, and self reflection based readings. Additionally, all residents have access to one off-site aftercare group at an outside facility, which is included in the cost.

24 Hour On-Site Support

Assistance is provided to clients who are going through severe physical, emotional, mental or behavioural distress. Our addictions counsellors are available on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We want to ensure you get the support you need in early recovery.

Access to Outside Services

We can connect residents to a variety of resources outside our transition houses for additional support. These services include family supports, a psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist, grief counsellors, general physicians, aftercare or virtual programs, and more.

Our Philosophy

The Recovery Place aims to provide hope and healing for clients in recovery. We treat each day as a promise of our future, not as a consequence of our past. We facilitate transformed functioning at home, work, and where ever a life of recovery and growth may lead our residents. Moreover, all our counsellors have lived experience with addiction, and strive to create the best sober living environment possible.
