Meet Haven

The work you begin here continues with you.

At 12 Lodge, recovery begins with people: a small residential community and a human team. Haven brings the same Reset, Balance and Wellness learning into the moments between scheduled conversations—and into life after your stay.

  • Keep learning. Return to Circle lessons and the books through guided questions.
  • Make space to reflect. Journal, check in and connect learning with everyday practice.
  • Stay connected to people. Prepare your own notes and questions for your next Guide conversation.

What stayed with you after the conversation?

Example Member reflection

“I had a difficult conversation with my partner. I felt unheard and became defensive.”

A starting point for reflection—not a diagnosis or an assessment.

Opening 2027 · Who we support

Your next step

12 Lodge is a planned all-male residential wellness centre in Ottawa for drug and alcohol recovery, with space for up to 10 residents.

Eligibility is assessed individually. Admissions can discuss whether the 12 Lodge Method is appropriate for your needs. A question or referral does not confirm admission.

No on-site medical detox at opening. Anyone requiring withdrawal management must complete appropriate care before residential admission. Seek qualified medical guidance rather than stopping substances on your own.

Treatment for myself

Explore stay options, pricing and preparation, then speak confidentially with admissions about suitability.
