A “place of healing and hope” is how Gail Teabo describes Michael Garron Hospital’s (MGH) new women's withdrawal facility.
The roughly 6,000-square-foot space is slated to open its doors for the first time on Monday. When it does, it will become the only site of its kind between Oshawa and Bathurst Street.“This is an amazing facility,” Teabo said during a recent tour of the bright, newly-renovated space, which will provide enhanced support for individuals age 16 and older who identify as women, non-binary, two-spirit, and trans with mental health and substance use concerns.
Back in 1999, Teabo began her journey of recovery when she spent 28 days at a now-closed withdrawal centre on Queen Street West.Clean for more than a decade and now giving back by running 12-step fellowship meetings for individuals struggling with substance abuse, the North York resident and mother of two adult daughters said the lives of those who come to MGH’s new 16-bed facility at 989 Danforth Ave., just west of Donlands Avenue, will be forever changed for the better.
