I was in the Coburg facility Oct 9 to Nov 7th. 2023. I waited until now to relay my thoughts . So far so good... I am 100 days sober and counting. I know for a fact I couldn't have done it without CCFA and the many great people there. Counselors, nurses, therapists and chefs. Most of all the other residents. You get out what you put into a recovery. It takes effort. There is no magic place that cures anything. But what I did find is the help I needed to get better. The time to focus on the right actions and way of thinking. People I met there made the difference. My family and I are grateful for everything CCFA helped me find so far. I hope anyone finding there way in through those doors gets what they need as well.

5 starsGreat facility, helpful staff and quick admittance. The staff goes over and above to help both the resident and their family from the initial call to the successful completion of the program. Do not hesitate to reach out to them for you or your family member.Review fromLisa K

Canadian Centre for Addictions treated my addiction to Opiods. The staff work hard with a treatment plan to rehabilitate all the clients. The care and compassion of all the staff was special. My family and I are so thankful for our decision to make that first phone call to CCFA. The program saved my life and I now live a healthy life, physically and mentally. Strategies and lessons learned at CCFA will be with me the rest of my life **********Canadian Centre For Addictions

After trying to deal with issues on my own, I turned to the professionals at CCFA, they treated me and found the root cause of my addiction. I'm working hard to live my best life thanks to the help and support of CCFA. You changed my life!Canadian Centre For Addictions

I found CCFA to be exactly what I needed to deal with my issues.
I acquired the knowledge and tools to help me with my recovery after leaving the facility. The support by all the staff, from the chefs, cleaning crew, office staff and councillors was great. I am more confident going forward in my life than I was before entering.Canadian Centre For Addictions

1 starI have called, emailed and messaged repeatedly and not a single response from the owner or anyone else about a refund. I paid approx 23,000 dollars with tax for a family member to be at Cobourg location. The first phone call he was allowed to make after the 72 hour communication ban, was to me to say this was not the treatment plan we had been led to believe he would be receiving. We were told that they specialize in mental health and addiction and that is not so in our case. *** ** **** ***** ******* ** ****** **** *** ******** **. I looked up only the Cobourg location. Before they got my money, they answered every call and email, now nothing. Very bad business to not even acknowledge or respond to families after paying all that money. We are not rich people and that money is not disposable. Shame on you for treating families this way when they are trying to help their lived ones. ** ***** ** **** ***** ** ****** *** ********* I want a refund and I want to be acknowledged.Review fromMichael R

5 starsI changed my life under the roof of CCFA. Much like anything in life you get out what you put in, but the structure, counseling, outstanding amenities provided allow optimal growth and I can not say enough amazing things to express my entire appreciation and love for CCFA. All the staff from top to bottom are phenomenal. The food is absolutely amazing, and the house oozes with supportive, unconditional love that empowers life skills unparalleled to anything offered out there. Personal growth and wisdom are at your fingertips if you so choose to put in the work and put your life in recovery first and foremost. Recovery is not doom and gloom either. You give up on this to have anything you could dream of. Life through the twelve steps is truly life changing - regardless of addiction or not, it just rings true so crystal clear for such people who have succumbed to this deadly disease, which always ends in JAILS - INSTITUTIONS & DEATH. Choose wisely. You will not regret a single penny spent after you experience a truly life changing experience. BIG LOVE FOR CCFA.Review fromPatti A

CCFA’s website is full of false advertising. I was looking for a luxury re-had Centre and CCFA’s website stated it was a luxury rehab facility with yoga, pool, organized activities, exercise programs, off site events and excursions, hot tub and professionally chef prepared food. This facility did not offer any of these services. I was admitted into their Cobourg location on January 2, 2023 and they would not let me look at the facility prior to admittance. This centre had only been open since mid December (less than three weeks earlier) and none of this was mentioned on their website or told to me on the phone by Timmi Lawrason, Intake Advisor. I said right from the beginning that I did not want a facility that promoted Alcoholics Anonymous in any way and would only consider going there if it was not AA 12 step based. None of this was true. It is AA based and soon after your arrival they put an Alcoholics Anonymous Big Big brand new in your room. This place is * ******** *** nowhere near a luxury facility. Most of their information on their website is not true and very misleading. **** **** **** ***** ***** ** ***** *** **** **** ***** ***** ** *** **** ** *** ******** ********** *** ** *** *** *** ** * ******** ****** * ******* *** ******* They have over $30,000 of my money and I checked out of the place after 4 days not having seen a signed contract of any sort. They won’t let you make any phone calls or use the internet for the first 72 hours after admittance and by the time the 72 hours are up the General Manager Seth Fletcher says the time to get any money back has already expired as their day starts at 12:00 am on the day of arrival. I arrived at 4:45 pm and they would not let me call my lawyer or my husband to go over the contract. They would not leave a copy of the contract with me to read. ***** ****** *** ********* * ********* ******** *** ***** ******* ******** *** *** ************** **** ***** ****** ** ************ ** ****** ******** ***** *** ****Canadian Centre For Addictions

Hi *****, CCFA takes pride in its client centred approach. We work with many modalities of treatment to help connect people with what resonates with them as individuals. CCFA is not a 12 Step Program. We do introduce those who are unaware of this modality or have found success with it in the past but it is only one of the many treatment paths that are explored. We were disappointed that you left during the medical detox and you never gave yourself the opportunity to participate in our professional addiction programming
