We are able to treat people who present with an active addiction who also have an underlying secondary condition such as a mood disorder or personality disorder. We are not a general psychiatric facility working with acute mental illnesses, and do not allow anyone to remain on the programme if they are using drugs or alcohol or acting out behaviourally.

Do patients have to make beds, clean floors, and do other chores?

At Montrose Place we prefer that you focus on the issues at hand rather than routine chores. However, you’ll be responsible to keep your room tidy on a daily basis. You are also asked to be a respectful and responsible member of the therapeutic community.

Can I continue with my “work” activities?

This depends. Our primary focus is on your recovery process. If your work does not interfere with this process it may be continued outside of therapeutic hours.

Will I be allowed out?
