What is it?

Stabilization is a community-style transitional housing program for adults who are presently experiencing a substance dependence/use disorder, but are not currently intoxicated and not requiring detoxification services. They are seeking care for their substance use and may be awaiting or in between services on the treatment/recovery continuum. They require rapid, short-term stabilizing housing that includes support in order to move towards their next step on the recovery continuum.

Program Expectations

The Stabilization Housing Program requires active and engaged participation. Participants are expected to:

  • Abstain from all substances for the duration of the program. Smoking cessation is encouraged.

  • Take responsibility for their own journey and work collaboratively with staff to build a self-determined recovery plan.

  • Hand in a weekly calendar, outlining their meetings, appointments and goals for the upcoming week.

  • Participate in all Stabilization groups and check-ins (morning and evening), as well as groups and psychoeducation as they are available.

  • Connect with community supports.

  • Meet regularly with Stabilization staff to discuss their recovery goals and post-stabilization planning.

  • Adhere to the 11pm curfew.

Participants will be discharged if:

  • They are no longer participating or working on their recovery

  • They display any form of harassing, threatening or abusive behaviour
