Stonehenge Therapeutic Community

Its a treatment centre thats run by staff that are still in highschool and the inmates on parole don't fancy the normal non convicted addict on a health bed. They discharge people on the last day and very simple solutions are made into complex situations that nobody deals with. Hurry up and wait. Just go to Homewood or Windsor and save your time. I did the program twice and its ridiculous now. They truly sell the place on looks but the addict suffers at the end of the day with the centre's programming and lack of lived experience or any beneficial help.

Spent over 15 years addicted to drugs, and sentenced to more than 17 years time. Stonehenge changed my life. My girlfriend's aswell. Thank you . Most difficult 6 months of my life

My experience: I heard a lot of great things about them and their programs, until they refused my application on sole basis of my mental health disabilities. Now ongoing lawsuit via Ontario Human Rights Tribunal ,they are blaming anyone and everyone else but themselves, intentionally stalling and refusing accountability despite already exposed via factual evidence. Insult to injury I've been struggling with a newly diagnosed illness of post traumatic stress as a contributory result of them prolonging their account stability. I'm forced to relive their torture harassment on a daily basis. Taking advantage of my position of being a grossly disproportionately marginalized population.

I really tried to make this program work. It felt like i was under suspision and had my room tossed 4 times in 60 days. While house searches occoured all clients had to remain in the basement 5 to 7 hours when we very well could had been isolated outside where it was plus 25 and sunny. The staff were text book trained with zero personal experience with addiction. Staff threatened to have me discharged if my urine samples didnt clear up by a certain time. This only showed me that staff had very little knowledge of drug detection times. Benzos can be detectable for up to 30 days. To threaten to discharge me after 2 weeks isnt being very realistic about detection times. It seemed that staff needed some training on drug detection times. There was an aledged smell of smoke in one of the houses so staff implemented a smoking bans. No smoking after meals and lengthy times between smoke breaks. This added to my struggle dealing with opiate addiction. I wasnt there to smoke less. I was there to quit heroin. Staff were told to walk the property looking for smoking violators so they could be punished with community consequences. None of the staff smoke. Some first hand experience could had been useful in this situation for the smokers Similarily the kind of experience that is needed to have a good understanding about addictions and what they are dealing with. Stonehenge felt like i was in jail but i wasnt so i self discharged after a 60 day stay. I dont have much money. Stonehenge had it in their safe. but rather then refund me all the money i had to my name they insisted they send my money through the mail. Its been 10 days and they still havent sent me my money. Thanks Stonehenge you have been a big help. I continue the fight.

This program saved my life. If you are serious about recovering then this program may be the right fit for you. I've been to many treatment programs with little success. This program helped me get to the 'whys' of my addiction, helped me change my behaviours and helped me deal with some deep rooted issues. I have been clean over 2 1/2 years now. Stonehenge staff are knowledgeable, compassionate and patient. I highly recommend this program.

This place needs so much work I went there and it started off good but no matter how hard you work they pick apart your negatives more than your positives plus some staff talk bad about residents it's very unheathy place shout out to the staff that actually care about you there thi k twice about going there after 6 months slot of l who left relapsed so how good is it really

Best people, best organization and best place to grow with amazing support. I have been working with STC since 2018 and plan to stay there for a while. Lots of room to grow while being provided with amazing supervision and mentor ship. No place is perfect. What I value at STC is that they encourage feedback and transparency. They want to make a difference in people’s lives and are truly the best people I have ever met . (Staff and service users )(peers ) Please show them some major ✌️❤️?

God bless these awesome people and send Love and Light into their hearts
