12 Lodge Wellness · Ottawa residence · Opening 2027

Addiction treatment options for men from Montreal

If you live in Montreal and are considering residential drug or alcohol treatment outside Quebec, explore the 12 Lodge Method in Ottawa alongside support closer to home.

Considering treatment outside Quebec

Choosing a residential setting outside your province raises practical questions as well as questions about care. 12 Lodge Wellness is on the Rideau River in Ottawa, Ontario—not in Montreal. The residence is planned to open in 2027. An enquiry can help you explore suitability without confirming admission or requiring you to make travel plans.

The 12 Lodge Method brings Reset, Balance and Wellness together through individual counselling, groups, family participation and continuing-care planning. The planned all-male residence has capacity for 10 residents.

Language, coverage and continuity of care

Before deciding, ask admissions which languages will be available for counselling, groups and family participation. French-language care at 12 Lodge has not been confirmed. Ask your insurer or benefits provider about private out-of-province residential care; do not assume Quebec public coverage or workplace benefits will pay the published rates.

Questions to bring to admissions

  • What assessment information would you need from my existing care providers in Quebec?
  • If withdrawal management is required, how should I arrange it before travelling?
  • How could my family participate from Montreal, and what would an approved visit involve?
  • How would continuing-care planning connect with support near my home in Quebec?

12 Lodge will not initially offer in-house medical detox. Any required withdrawal management must be completed with appropriate providers before residential admission. Do not travel on the assumption that an enquiry confirms a place or an arrival date.

Review eligibility and the application process

Returning to Montreal after a residential stay

Discuss how residential learning could carry into your relationships, routines and approved care when you return to Montreal. Included after successful completion: 20 one-hour community therapy sessions within three months of discharge, plus one one-hour video appointment through myLodge with your chosen Lodge counsellor each month for twelve months, twelve months of structured online groups and lifetime digital Haven access. All community practitioners require approval; this is not a promise of a Quebec Lodge clinic or coverage of every Quebec service.

Finding support in Quebec

These independent services can help you explore local options. A listing is not a referral partnership or a promise of admission. Free navigation does not mean all treatment is free.

For an immediate emergency, call 911. If you are thinking about suicide or concerned about someone else, call or text 988 in Canada.
