12 Lodge Wellness · Ottawa residence · Opening 2027
Information for men and families in Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven, Stittsville and communities around Ottawa, including Carleton Place, Kemptville and Rockland.
12 Lodge Wellness is a single waterfront residence on Ottawa’s Rideau River, planned to open in 2027. It does not have separate centres in Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven or surrounding towns. If you are looking for support nearby, compare the planned residential Method with community services and assessment options that can help you understand your needs now.
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.
Speak Confidentially With Admissions
The 12 Lodge Method is planned as residential care for no more than ten male residents, with a recommended 42-day stay. Being close to home does not establish drop-in access, commuting arrangements or unrestricted family visits. Ask admissions about suitability, daily routines and how residential boundaries and family participation would work for your circumstances.
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.
