Ingles House

Ingles House is a high-support group home for nine young women aged 16-24 recovering from a serious addiction, who wish to live in an abstinent environment. It is the only post-treatment residential program of its type in Toronto.

Ingles House offers recovery and support services in a structured environment where residents break with their old lifestyles and develop new skills. The program offers counselling and life skills, and encourages young women to build a support network, link with community resources, and prepare for education and employment in the community. Strong peer support is an important element of the Ingles House program.

Ingles also operates a co-operative house where up to five young women manage their own smooth transition from the structured environment of Ingles House itself to fully independent living in the community.

A strong after-care program enables former residents to maintain their connection with Ingles, and continue to benefit from the support offered by staff and their peers while living independently in the community.

While they live at Ingles House, the women attend high school or college, are employed, or are involved in day-treatment programs.

The program provides an atmosphere in which youth who are committed to recovery from substance abuse can be empowered to realize their full health potential in body, mind and spirit by living in a supportive, non-violent, abstinent environment.
