OHIP covers physician and hospital-based services, but wait times through the public system can be as long as 12 months. When you need help, you need it NOW! OAR Wellness is a private, fee-for-service program that provides care when you are ready, not when a waitlist allows. Some extended health benefits may reimburse portions of care. We can help you review what may be eligible.
Conditions We Treat
We provide specialized inpatient addiction treatment for adults dealing with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. Addiction rarely happens in isolation, as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and burnout often sit in the background. At OAR Wellness, we address addiction and mental health together and recognize how they interact.
Substances We Treat:
Alcohol Addiction - Evidence-based alcohol rehab with life skills training
Opioid Addiction - Treatment for prescription painkillers, fentanyl, and heroin
Marijuana Addiction - Cannabis dependence and motivation support
Cocaine Addiction - Stimulant use disorder with relapse prevention
Prescription medication misuse and polysubstance use
Co-Occurring Mental Health Care:
We integrate treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and chronic stress.

Why Choose OAR Wellness for Addiction Treatment
We have heard from many people who came to us after other programs did not work for them. At OAR Wellness, you can expect a different approach.
Forward-looking care
We plan for life after treatment from day one, helping you develop daily routines, emotional tools, and coping strategies for long-term recovery.
Private, focused setting near Toronto
Quiet, secluded, and removed from everyday triggers.
Trauma and mental health-informed care
We address addiction and mental health support together, and recognize how they interact.
Life skills at the core
Sleep, routines, work functioning, organization, and relationships are built into programming.
Honest expectations
We discuss recovery as a long-term journey, not a quick fix. If there is a better fit for your needs, we will make that referral and help ensure you get the help you need.
How Our Inpatient Addiction Treatment Program Works
Comprehensive Assessment & Fit
Our extensive admission process allows us to get to know you better before you arrive, understanding your substance use, mental health, medical history, and support system.
Inpatient Program
You follow a daily schedule combining individual therapy, group work, skills practice, and rest, using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapies.
Life Skills & Daily Functioning
Alongside therapy programs, you work on developing structure in areas such as sleep, nutrition, time management, responsibilities, and relationships.
Aftercare Plan
Early in your stay, we begin building a written discharge and relapse-prevention plan connecting you to local recovery groups and external providers.
OAR Wellness does not provide medical detoxification services. If detox is needed, we coordinate referrals to appropriate facilities and plan your admission once you are medically stable.
Support for Families and Life After Treatment
Substance use affects more than one person. At OAR Wellness, we offer education on recovery timelines, structured family involvement with the patient's consent, help navigating aftercare, and a written discharge plan. Recovery is more sustainable when the people around you are engaged in the process.
- Set boundaries without abandoning: How to support recovery without enabling use, how to protect your own well-being while staying connected.
- Participate in structured sessions: Weekly family meetings (virtual or in-person), education on post-discharge risks, and help navigating what comes next.

Recovery Timeline
How Long Does Recovery Take?
Recovery from addiction is a long-term journey, not a 30-day destination. At OAR Wellness, we are honest about this because realistic expectations lead to sustainable outcomes. Our inpatient program is the starting gate, providing foundation for long-term recovery with the tools, habits, and skills you need to enter the world without being overwhelmed.
We are here to help you get started. The rest is a journey we help you prepare for.
Admissions & Insurance
We work with your insurance provider and offer flexible options, including private pay, EAP coordination, and detailed receipts for reimbursement. OHIP generally covers physician and hospital-based services, while private residential treatment like OAR Wellness involves fee-for-service care with reimbursement where applicable.
