VincenPaul Community Homes: Society of St Vincent de Paul

VincenPaul Community Homes History:

In response to a “gap” detected in the addiction recovery field in Ontario, the Society opened its first post-treatment home in the mid 70’s. Since that time, we have progressively expanded into 13 residences serving 76 men and 7 women.

VincenPaul Community Homes Mandate:
Our mandate, simply put, is to prevent relapses by providing a stable, community environment during a 6 – 8 month period immediately following graduation from a recognized treatment facility.

VincenPaul Community Homes Characteristics and Needs of Residents:
Our Homes strive to provide an atmosphere conducive to continuing recovery, mainly concentrating upon the rehabilitation principles advocated during treatment, aftercare and recognized 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. In addition, residents are encouraged to upgrade their education, obtain employment, and restore family relationships.
