About Us

York Addiction was one of the first private treatment centers to be accredited with Accreditation Canada and currently holds Exemplary Standing, which is their highest level of accreditation. York Addiction's vast multitude of programming for youth, adults, and families have helped pave the way for us to become one of Canada’s leading and most innovative alcohol and drug addiction recovery centers. For individuals who are affected by addiction, York Addiction is an evidenced-based inpatient treatment center that provides the foundation needed for helping clients transform their lives and become the best version of themselves.

At York Addiction, we understand the struggles our clients have endured, and the pain families go through. Our main goal is to focus on the solution – rather than the problem. As a client, family and community-centered facility, York Addiction provides clients with a trusted, caring and culturally safe environment where people can find a fast road to recovery as this is a part of York Addiction’s core philosophical treatment approach. York Addiction’s approach uses evidence-based therapies comprised of: PTSD therapy, trauma-informed therapy, DBT, CBT, anger management, relapse prevention etc. These therapies have a respected track record of success and long-term sobriety to best support our clients on their recovery journey.

Our multidisciplinary team of counsellors and medical professionals provide our clients with the most comprehensive care for those struggling with both addiction and co-occurring disorders.  York Addiction specializes in emotional recovery, and we help clients set achievable and empowering goals. We do not believe in a “one size fits all” treatment approach but rather focus on person centered therapy – which is the key behind emotional recovery. This is York Addiction’s core philosophical treatment approach.

Along with group therapy and psychoeducation, York Addiction’s treatment program places a strong focus on 1-on-1 therapy to help uncover the underlying causes of substance use, by providing clients with 4 individual therapy sessions each week. This individual therapy combined with York Addiction’s unique treatment approach makes York Addiction one of a kind and a top choice when it comes to inpatient treatment centers.
