Virtual Treatment - An Accessible Alternative
Virtual Treatment - An Accessible Alternative
For some people, attending inpatient treatment for over a month isn’t an option. We believe everyone should have access to quality addiction treatment, when and where they need it. That’s why we also offer a fully virtual treatment program within our network, allowing clients to get expert help for a lower cost, from the comfort of home. Ask our team about virtual treatment options.
Sober Companion Services
Sober Companion Services
Available at an additional cost, clients have access to Sober Companion Services, both during their treatment and post-discharge. Both entering treatment and readjusting to home life afterward can be an exciting and sometimes challenging process. A sober companion’s mission is to assist an individual in developing a new sober lifestyle and routine. Depending on the client’s needs, they can provide live-in or arms-length support to help clients move through difficulties as they arise. GreeneStone has a team of successful sober companions and coaches for our clients to choose from. Geographic location, gender, and compatibility are all considered when our clinical team makes a pairing recommendation.
Highly Personalized Treatment
Highly Personalized Treatment
Your story is one-of-a-kind, so your treatment experience should be, too. GreeneStone Centre for Recovery provides personalized treatment, beginning with a psychiatric assessment to unroot and address any underlying issues fueling the addiction. For clients requiring detox, GreeneStone provides medically-supervised withdrawal management and nursing care on-site. Clients participate in individual and group therapy, with access to recovery coaching and specialized focus groups. Starting recovery is a big investment in your future—make sure you choose an option that’s tailor made just for you.

Greenestone was the place I started to discovery myself, my addiction and learn what it takes to stay in recovery. Greenestone did not heal me, however, my time with other clients and staff, helped me learn about my disease and how to manage it. It gave me a safe place where I could practice using the tools I was learning and space to be comfortable to explore myself and start learning it was ok to be authentic.

Within the first week I felt at home and comfortable in my surroundings The staff there were very friendly and the food was amazing!! I found the programming helpful, they offered a wide yariety of education around substance abuse with recovery planning included. They also took us out to 12 step meetings in the evenings which i found very helpful. I also currently participate in the Alumni programming, which is extremely rewarding. I would recommend Greenestone to anyone that is looking for a fresh start when nothing else seems to be working. It's a special place!l

GreeneStone was the perfect starting point for my recovery journey. I was able to be separated from drugs and alcohol and see what was available to me for long-term sobriety. GreeneStone's holistic approach was exactly what I needed to make my own choices for how my recovery would look. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to change their life for the better.
