Gateway Recovery Centre
Core Addiction and Mental Health
The day-to-day experiences of military, veterans, first responders, and healthcare workers, often including life-and-death decisions, are unimaginable to the average citizen. As a result, they often experience moral injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and operational stress injury. Increased substance use can become a way they choose to deal with these feelings.
At Gateway Recovery Centre in Peterborough, Ontario, just an hour and a half outside Toronto, our Core Addiction and Mental Health Program is designed to treat the root cause of addiction and mental health struggles, leading to long-lasting recovery.
Treatment From a Team That Understands
While we offer trauma treatment at our other EHN Canada facilities, we noticed a demand for a space and programs created exclusively for military, veterans, and first responders for them to share experiences and recover. The workplace experiences of these groups may make them feel less willing to share with those who do not understand. That’s why we’ve created a treatment facility in which clients can feel comfortable sharing their stories and feelings. And our staff are professional, compassionate, understanding and non-judgemental when it comes to their treatment approach. Think of them more as partners in recovery than as authority figures.
