They offer specialized programs for first responders, military personnel and veterans, health care providers, eating disorders, and women with complex trauma.
Homewood Health Centre’s clients are met with a compassionate, comprehensive approach to ensure their distinct challenges are addressed effectively and in the personalized way they deserve. All programs are based on a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach to recovery. Clients receive regular 1:1 sessions throughout treatment, tailored to their unique needs. Programming is primarily group based, so the bulk of a client's time will be in group sessions.

For addictions, their program covers stabilization followed by long-term recovery.

Homewood offers different recovery management and outpatient programs that provide professional support and guidance to help individuals sustain their recovery. Homewood’s recovery management initiatives focus on skill consolidation, relapse prevention, overall wellness, and the involvement of one’s family and support system. These offerings can be tailored to meet the needs of each client.

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.

Homewood Health 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. Homewood Health Centre works with 24 insurance providers.
