About The Residence at Homewood
The Residence at Homewood helps clients focus fully on recovery by combining personalized, evidence-based care with exceptional lifestyle comforts. They remain at the forefront of treatment innovation, working closely with the Homewood Research Institute to develop and apply new approaches to inpatient mental health, addiction, and co-occurring conditions. They provide a high staff-to-client ratio, multiple individual weekly sessions, comprehensive evaluations, and luxury accommodations and amenities.
Personalized Treatment
The Residence provides treatment plans that include a balance of individual and group therapies tailored to clients’ needs, strengths, and long-term goals. Care begins with a comprehensive, multi-day assessment, along with input from family members where appropriate, to guide the personalized inpatient plan. As part of this assessment, they also conduct pharmacogenetic testing to understand how clients will respond to certain medicines. Clients engage in 8-12 individual sessions with team members that may include a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, occupational therapist, recreational therapist, mental health nurses, personal trainer, art therapist, addictions counsellor and more. Programming incorporates dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and mindfulness groups.
Privacy and Proximity to Leading Treatment
The Residence is located on the same site as the Homewood Health Centre, one of Canada’s largest facilities for confidential addiction and mental health treatment. Clients enjoy an intimate experience at The Residence while benefiting from proximity to the Centre’s 300-bed accredited hospital. This enables integration of Canada’s most innovative, evidence-based therapies into inpatient treatment while maintaining discretion for high-profile individuals.
Recovery Management
Upon completing inpatient treatment, The Residence supports long-term wellness with a Recovery Management Program. Thie program is designed to boost self-efficacy and help clients effectively manage their home life, work life, social life, and any other transitions while recovering from addiction and mental health issues. The program includes:
- Structured, personalized, including plans for skill-building, reconnecting, and sustaining recovery
- Recovery management group counselling and support services available across Canada
- Membership in an alumni program that connects clients to a recovery-focused community, community events and additional resources
- Option to purchase additional recovery management services that can include individual one-on-one counselling, step-down programming, and substance-use monitoring

Each private bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom and desk workspace. Clients have access to the on-site gym, personal training, yoga, extensive walking trails, and tennis courts.

Pharmacogenetic Testing
The Residence at Homewood uses pharmacogenetic testing during the multi-day assessment at the beginning of a client’s stay. This precision technology examines a person’s genetic information to understand how they will respond to certain medicines, which helps guide future prescriptions where appropriate. By reducing the trial-and-error process of finding effective medications, pharmacogenetic testing can lead to faster, more effective treatments, especially for complex conditions
Treatment-Resistant Depression
For clients with treatment-resistant depression, The Residence offers access to the Homewood Interventional Psychiatry Service, which provides innovative treatments such as ketamine infusion therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). These therapies are administered under the guidance of a psychiatrist and are designed to help clients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. Ketamine and rTMS offer non-invasive and fast-acting options, while ECT remains highly effective for severe cases. Clients also receive individualized support, combining therapeutic and wellness programs to enhance long-term recovery.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
For clients who suspect they have OCD, symptoms will be assessed at the time of admission to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Medication may be prescribed as an important part of the recovery plan. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the primary cognitive behavioural therapy found to be effective in the treatment of OCD. This would include a stepwise plan to help challenge and change OCD-related beliefs and behaviours. In combination with ERP, additional skills are taught to help clients actively examine and challenge beliefs about situations that cause anxiety.
140 Years of Expertise
The Residence offers evidence-based inpatient mental health treatment and assessment approaches informed by a 140-year legacy of medical and clinical expertise in mental health and addiction. Every treatment plan reflects the latest clinical innovations from the Homewood Research Institute, where some of the world’s most influential scientists, researchers, and clinicians create meaningful change through research.
