Residential programs use a modified 'therapeutic community' treatment model with an approach based on the belief that chronic addiction comes with an acquired lifestyle and that recovery requires a holistic approach that challenges deeply ingrained behaviours and teaches healthy alternatives.

Believing that change is most effective when it is experienced and shared, staff encourage residents to assist each other in every aspect of treatment. Professional staff function as facilitators, guides, and role models. Residents, staff, and alumni comprise a supportive community in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
