Dorie’s House offers a six bed in-patient and six out-patient treatment program for youth ages 12-18 who struggle with substance misuse.
Our approach provides youth opportunities to evaluate how their substance misuse impacts their own lives and the lives of those around them.
Dorie’s House also offers two Emergency Beds for Youth in crisis or transition and in-need of extra support.
Our goal is not to tell Youth what to do or what not to do. Our goal is to Empower Youth so that they can make healthy, informed-decisions on their own.
A Conduit for Well-being
With the support of Mental Health and Addictions, we provide group, educational and recreational programming tailored to meet the needs of individual residents. This programming includes both group and individual counselling, intended to bridge youth back to their communities as they heal, moving them towards positive recovery.

“My commitment to my community is strongly connected to an ongoing passion to work with, support and get to know people. Dorie’s House is a perfect example of what a community can build and it continues to show us the power and endurance of a positive force. I believe the core of Dorie’s House is providing kindness, knowledge, hope and connection in order to offer the opportunity to make choices to create a better future. I share this vision and have worked for years, through various roles, with the same goal in mind: supporting and helping individuals so that they may be able to choose a more positive path forward.”
