History: Stonehenge Therapeutic Community is a non-profit addiction agency providing long term residential care to men and women with a history of chronic drug abuse. Established in 1971, Stonehenge offers a model of care that focuses on lifestyle and healing. Treatment provides opportunities to explore and challenge problems/behaviours in an atmosphere of support.

Description: Located in a picturesque rural setting near Guelph, the Stonehenge has separate facilities for men and women. A home like atmosphere with a structured daily routine is designed to promote healthy choices and positive responsible living.

Residents Accepted: Males and females 16 years and over with a) chronic/severe substance abuse b) motivation to change and c) committed to 4-6 months of treatment. ** Federally sentenced clients must anticipate spending the full six months in accordance with day parole requirements.

Exclusions: Those who pose a security risk or those who require on-site complex medical attention.

Program: The 4-6 month treatment stay is designed to address the cognitive/behavioural and emotional issues related to drug dependency. Residents will move through 4 progressive phases of treatment with the option to participate in continuing care for a period of two years. For those individuals unsure or unable to enter treatment immediately, a weekly pre-treatment group is available. Stonehenge also offers group support to family members who wish to be involved. Both group and individual therapy is provided and is geared to addressing the unique treatment plan of each resident. Specialized programming is available for men and women with self & mutual help setting the tone for all community activities.
