About Ryding House
Located north of High Park, along Lake Ontario, Ryding House is a 12-bed residential addiction treatment center on Ryding Avenue in Toronto, Ontario. The co-ed facility accepts adults of all genders for 14, 21, 30, or 45-day programs. Residents can also enter an optional 3- to 10-day withdrawal stabilization program. They follow an abstinence-oriented approach and accept residents receiving opioid agonist therapy (OAT), but do not provide medical detox.
Individual Counseling and Group Therapy
Residents attend individual counseling, group therapy, and life skills sessions. Staff use evidence-informed, trauma-and-violence-informed practices that prioritize emotional and physical safety. Residents share responsibilities, work through interpersonal challenges, and practice skills for managing daily life without substance use. The treatment team includes professionals with clinical training and lived recovery experience.
Daily Living and Continued Care
Residents live in a co-ed therapeutic community where they participate in group activities, develop routines, and share responsibility for communal living. Admission includes screening and assessment to determine program suitability. They offer subsidized beds and sponsorship opportunities to help cover treatment costs. Ryding House also provides graduation and ongoing support.
Center Overview
Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not prescribe it.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
