Who are they?

Simon House is more than a residential treatment centre—they’re a community catalyst, forging partnerships like the one with Stonewall Recovery to serve underrepresented populations, including Indigenous individuals and queer youth. Their joint efforts are paving the way for a compassionate, culturally grounded, and inclusive landscape in Canadian addiction treatment.

What do they do?

Simon House guides and empowers individuals to achieve long-term recovery from addiction and all its effects. Through our Mission, to support those affected by addiction to discover who they can BE, where they BELONG and what they can ultimately BECOME; our Vision, a place where anyone impacted by addiction can heal, grow, and reintegrate into their communities as healthy individuals; and Core Values of compassion, acceptance, collaboration integrity, humility, and innovation, we will lead the way in addiction treatment and lifelong recovery.

Their programs include:

• New Leaf Recovery: The co-ed 12 week holistic nature of this day treatment program promotes wellness and balance in the many areas of life as a foundation for change, growth and renewal. New Leaf Holistic Recovery will support its participants in understanding themselves and their environments on deeper levels, helping them to appreciate the complexity of the road that brought them here, and uncovering the hope and possibility of the ones that will lead them forward.

• Stonewall Recovery Centre Partnership Simon House is a foundational partner of Stonewall Recovery Centre, a groundbreaking initiative focused on providing safe, affirming addiction recovery for 2SLGBTQ+ youth aged 18–24. Together, they launched Stonewall’s online recovery programs in May 2023 and continue to collaborate on fundraising events. The partnership has also initiated a GoFundMe campaign to establish a 50-bed inpatient facility residential treatment centre dedicated specifically to the queer community, with plans to expand programming nationally by 2026. Simon House helped incubate Stonewall Recovery through mentorship, operational support, and shared leadership.
