Stonehenge Residential Program

While our services are offered to men and women alike, our residential program is not co-ed. The men's and women's programs are run on separate properties. Separate programs also allows for gender-specific issues to be addressed. Both the men's and women's 4-6 month residential treatment program consists of the following components:

Orientation (2 weeks)
The Orientation phase allows both the Stonehenge staff and the new resident the opportunity to determine "program fit". All new residents are paired with a supportive peer (usually a senior resident) to guide and support them through the various parts of the program. In this phase, no outside communication with family or friends is allowed so that the resident can focus on the program.

Active Treatment (3-4 months)
The core component our treatment program, this phase includes individual and group therapy, workforce therapy, leisure and learning activities, art therapy, life skills, anger management as well as outings in the community. It also includes our Recognition Awards every Friday. The timeframe is a range because we cater certain components of our program to address the specific needs of each individual resident. We recognize that every resident is different and will therefore move through the program at their own pace.

Re-Entry & Transition (4-6 weeks)
In this phase, residents begin to rebuild their lives and prepare to transition back into their home community through staff-assisted searches for employment, housing and education. Building recovery supports, developing community connections and relapse prevention are integral components of this phase. If required, trips to local resource centres, libraries and government offices occur in this phase.

Commencement 
Our monthly celebration for graduating residents, in the company of family, friends, fellow residents and Stonehenge staff.
