Men’s Concurrent Disorder Treatment Program

998614 Mulmur-Tosorontio Townline, P.O. Box 155, Glencairn, ON, L0M 1K0

The Men’s Concurrent Disorder Treatment Program continues to be cell phone-free. Cell phones will not be permitted onsite.

On Saturday May 6 1967 The Salvation Army began their work in Glencairn ON when Commissioner Edgar Grinstead, Territorial Commander, officially opened and dedicated Hope Acres as a place that helps people experience lives filled with freedom and hope from the horrors of addiction.

Hope Acres Men’s Concurrent Disorder Treatment Program consists of a live-in component where individuals can reside for six (6) months.

The live-in treatment program has the capacity for 30 clients with support 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The program is concurrent disorders and trauma -informed capable and accepts men/self-identifying men or non-binary individuals on opiate substitution therapies.

Utilizing a chronic care lens, the program is designed and operates with the recognition that the recovery process is often not linear and is complicated by co-occurring mental health, medical and social factors.  As such, lapses are not punished, but processed as learning opportunities, the goals of the client are given priority. Our goal is to provide hope and skills for each client to live their healthiest/happiest possible life without stigma or shame.

THLM recognizes the significant courage it takes to seek help for addiction and concurrent disorders and employs a “no wrong door” philosophy, responding to all inquiries within 24 hours, seeking to meet the needs of each client who approaches us, either through treatment services or appropriate referrals.
