Welcome to the official website of the Salvation Army Homestead.

The Salvation Army Homestead is a choice of continuous-intake, longer-term treatment programs on two sites in the Toronto area for women struggling with substance use. Our treatment options are:

Pre treatment support, information and referrals at a variety of locations in the Scarborough community

Our programs are holistic and abstinence-based. Our treatment model includes relapse prevention, life skills and twelve step classes, group and individual counselling. Group and individual counselling are important components of Homestead programs. Women being treated with methadone and women with concurrent disorders are welcome. Our staff will support you in your journey of recovery and self empowerment, in an atmosphere of acceptance, warmth and safety.

The Homestead programs are ideal if you are looking for a longer term treatment option that gives you structure and flexibility, a wide variety of learning opportunities and time to practice your new skills, and a holistic approach that takes into account your physical, spiritual and emotional needs and your personal goals.

The Homestead programs are open to women from all over Ontario. We are funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care through the Central East Local Health Integration Network, The Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, and donations from caring people and organizations. There is no charge for our programs. All you need is an Ontario Health Card. We welcome women who have a variety of special needs. Please contact us to discuss how we can support you on your journey toward health and wholeness.
