FAQ

Depending on available funding, we are hoping to open in the winter of 2021.

Anyone who currently identifies as a woman or as gender non-conforming.  Also, you must have already completed a detoxification treatment and primary treatment in another facility/facilities.

Primary treatment is the first stage in addiction treatment. It typically follows a detoxification program and lasts for a minimum of 30 days.

The more commonly known “second stage housing” is a facility where people in recovery can live before transitioning to independent living. Our secondary care model includes counselling, programming, and lifetime outreach programs.

Outreach programs are designed to facilitate a smooth transition from treatment/secondary care back into the greater community. Our outreach counsellor will assist you with the transition process. She will help you establish a solid positive support network, provide counselling and group activities in the community, and maintain an open line of communication between you and RCR following your graduation.

• • Have you already completed primary treatment at another facility? 
  • Do you identify as a woman or as gender non-conforming?
  • Do you have an active EIA case number or an alternative form of financing your stay with us?
  • Download our application and medical clearance form. Please fill out the application yourself or with support. Please see a licensed physician or nurse practitioner to have your medical clearance form completed. 
  • Email, fax, or mail in your application to Regenesis Centre for Recovery.

RCR is unique from other addiction treatment and recovery facilities because we prioritize the provision of services to Indigeneous peoples and members of the 2SLGBTTQ+ community identifying as women and/or as gender non-conforming. 

Additionally, RCR is unique from other services as our clients will be those exiting primary treatment for the purpose of providing greatly needed extensions to recovery times and a more gradual transition between treatment and independent living.

We are still looking for a suitable facility from which we can run RCR.

Depending on the size and layout of the facility, we anticipate being able to house 5-6 clients at a time.

Depending on your needs, goals, and previous treatments, our programs will run for either 6 or 12 months.

For those on Employment and Income Assistance (EIA), your stay at Regenesis will be completely covered so you will have no out-of-pocket expenses for care.

For those who choose to finance their stay by other means, your care will cost $600.00 per month, equivalent to the Employment and Income Assistance (EIA) rate.

Rent, food, counselling, group activities, and bus fare will be included in your fees.
