Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Each of our treatment centres adhere to our guiding principles providing a comprehensive treatment protocol. Core to all programming at Trafalgar is our focus on treating the underlying mental health issues fuelling the addiction.

The Trafalgar Residential Rehab Centre is located in Erin, Ontario. At this inpatient facility, our experts treat behavioural and substance addictions, mental health and concurrent disorders, with options for 30, 45, 60 and 90 days.

Trafalgar Outpatient Addiction Rehab Centre, in midtown Toronto Ontario, offers treatment for addiction and concurrent mental health disorders based on a client’s needs, schedule and budget.

Our Virtual Addiction Treatment Program also offers a structured and comprehensive program that you can receive in the comfort at your home.

At Trafalgar, all clients receive 3 individual psychotherapy sessions PER WEEK, administrated by a Master’s level registered therapist.

Receiving therapy from a therapist is significantly different than a session with an addiction counsellor.

What distinguishes their roles is the difference in education, training, experience and professional accountability

A therapist enables you to tackle deep trauma and unresolved issues that fuel your addiction.

A counsellor helps you handle emotional distress during your recovery process with healthy habits on a daily/weekly basis.

Besides individual therapy sessions, all clients have 24/7, unlimited access to registered Addiction Counsellors for support and mentoring.
