About Aurora Recovery Centre

Located an hour north of Winnipeg on 25 scenic lakeside acres, Aurora Recovery Centre delivers full-service care for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients can engage in residential treatment, virtual outpatient programs, and medically supervised detox. With a multi-faceted approach, Indigenous healing practices, and restorative amenities, Aurora offers a welcoming, respectful space where clients reclaim health, rebuild purpose, and set the foundation for lifelong recovery.
Aurora Recovery employs an integrative, whole-person approach to address addiction and co-occurring conditions. Treatment plans begin with comprehensive assessments, addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. When necessary, medically monitored detox ensures safety and comfort. Clients engage in therapies to modify negative thought patterns, regulate emotions, and develop coping strategies. Complementary practices like 12-Step groups, yoga, equine assisted learning, and Indigenous healing traditions enhance each client’s path to healing.
Clients share gender-specific rooms with private bathrooms featuring double sinks and walk-in showers. They enjoy nutritious, chef-prepared meals with accommodations for dietary needs. Each day offers opportunities to build physical strength in the fitness centre, yoga studio, and indoor pool or unwind with lakeside walks. Restorative services like reiki, massage, and haircuts enhance well-being. Aurora welcomes service animals and offers flexible tech use, creating an inclusive, personalised recovery experience.
Aurora considers long-term, continued support an essential part of each person's treatment and recovery planning. Every client departs with a customized continuing care plan, which may include regular follow-ups, group therapy, individual counselling sessions, peer support meetings, and alumni resources. For programs lasting 45 days or longer, Aurora offers a warranty, allowing clients to return for additional support if needed, reinforcing their commitment to sustained recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Aurora Recovery Centre provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Aurora Recovery Centre offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Aurora Recovery Centre works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
