CARF Accredited · Confidential · St. Catharines, OntarioFentanyl & Opiates Treatment in Ontario
If stopping has not stuck before, you are not weak and you are not broken. Many people caught in opioid use have tried detox, withdrawal, or treatment more than once, only to find themselves right back in the same cycle. That cycle can feel relentless and defeating.
Struggling With Opiates or Fentanyl?
We keep the program to 29 people across two residences, so you cannot slip through the cracks. Care is individualized, trauma informed, and led by people in long term recovery who understand opioid addiction firsthand.
If you want real attention and honest support, reach out.
Does Opiate or Fentanyl Use Have You Feeling Stuck in Survival Mode?
If opioid use has taken over your days, your body, and your thinking, this message is for you.
Most people who reach out to us are not new to this. They have tried to manage withdrawal, taper, detox, or white knuckle their way through. They may have gone to treatment before and still ended up using again. Over time, that creates deep exhaustion and a sense that nothing will ever truly change.
We know how brutal opiate addiction is. The cycle often looks like relief followed by guilt, fear of withdrawal, chasing “normal”, and constant anxiety about running out, getting sick, or overdosing. Life slowly narrows until everything revolves around avoiding pain.
At Twelve Mile Recovery, we do things differently for a reason.
If you are ready to get out of survival mode, rebuild your health, repair relationships, and stop living at the mercy of withdrawal and cravings, keep reading.
Your Path Through Care
Three stages, and you do not have to decide the whole thing today. The assessment sets where you start and how long you stay.
6–12 Week Inpatient Stay →
Residential care at Rodman Hall or Lake Street — six, nine or twelve weeks, set by your assessment rather than by a package. Small groups, an individualized plan, and staff who know you by name.
6 Week Reintegration Support →
A structured step down that keeps the routine and the accountability running while you return to your own life. Discharge becomes a transition instead of a cliff edge.
Lifetime Aftercare & Support →
Membership does not expire. Ongoing groups, the alumni community and a door that stays open, for as long as you want it open.
Care Built Around You
We keep the program to 29 people across two residences because opioid addiction requires focused, consistent care. In large programs, people can hide, disappear, or be treated like a number. In a small setting, staff know you well and respond quickly when things shift.
You are supported closely and held accountable in a way that feels human, not clinical or controlling. We understand that real recovery cannot be forced. It happens when you begin to reconnect with your body, your reasons for living, and your sense of agency.
Your care is individualized. There is no generic template. Your plan is built around your history, your substance use patterns, your physical health, your trauma history, and the life you are returning to. We focus on what helps you stabilize and stay well after treatment, not just getting you through withdrawal.
If you are looking for a place to disappear or coast, this will not be the right fit. If you want focused attention, honest conversations, and a small environment where real change is possible, call us.
We are Owned and Operated by People in Long Term Recovery
This program is led by people who have lived through addiction and rebuilt their lives in recovery. That matters, especially with opiates.
You are not being guided by people who underestimate withdrawal, cravings, or the fear that comes with trying again. You are working with people who understand the physical and emotional toll, the constant vigilance, and the courage it takes to ask for help.
With professional support from people who have been through it and found a way forward, our hope is that you can find what works for you too.
Trauma Informed Care for Mind, Body and Spirit
Opiate and fentanyl use impact the nervous system, pain tolerance, emotional regulation, and physical health. Recovery requires more than stopping use. It requires helping the body relearn safety, strength, and regulation.
Our approach is trauma informed. We pay attention to how your body responds, how stress shows up, and how past experiences affect your ability to feel safe. We move at a sustainable pace, avoid shaming, and focus on real stabilization first.
Physical activity is a core part of our program. Structured movement, martial arts, strength training, yoga, and mindful practices help rebuild confidence, regulate stress, and reconnect you with your body in a way that supports long term recovery.
Our clinical work draws from proven approaches, including:
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to build distress tolerance and emotional regulation
- Motivational Interviewing to support autonomy and internal motivation
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thought patterns that fuel use
- Trauma focused therapy that respects pace and nervous system capacity
- Group therapy that builds connection and accountability
- Community integration to practice real world recovery skill
- Peer support grounded in lived experience
Opioid recovery is long work. It is easier to do somewhere that feels like a home than somewhere that feels like a facility.
You do not need another withdrawal scare or another close call.
If opiates or fentanyl have been running your life, damaging your health, or keeping you trapped in fear, it is okay to ask for help. You do not need to have the answers before calling. A conversation with our team will help you understand whether this program is a good fit and what next steps could look like for you. No pressure. Just a real discussion about what has not worked and what might. Reach out today. We want to hear your story.
