The eight-bed addictions and mental health facility will open in the former Justice Derek Holder House, located at Second Line West and Goulais Avenue
A former youth correctional facility on Second Line West will soon reopen as a co-ed mental health and addiction treatment home for local youth, allowing them to remain in the community while receiving help for those issues.
Soon it will reopen as an eight-bed, 24/7 operation offering mental health and addiction treatment to co-ed youth age 12 to 16. “For too long, children and youth with complex mental health and substance use challenges have had to leave our community to get the care they need,” said Ali Juma, CEO of Algoma Family Services, in the letter. “The live-in treatment program allows youth to get the care they need close to home.Among the programming to be offered will be individual therapy, group therapy, a sweat lodge, life skills coaching and development, as well as education and career planning.
According to a current job listing by Algoma Family Services for the position of Child and Youth Care Practitioner - Live-in Treatment , the facility will have eight beds and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
