About this service
The 25-bed DARE Program is a post-detoxification and pre-treatment program that offers homeless men with addictions a safe, supportive place to live while waiting for treatment. DARE provides counselling that prepare clients for residential or out-patient treatment for addictions. The 25 clients live together in a secure dormitory, offering each other support and encouragement. Clients in DARE receive food, shelter, toiletries and clothing. Transportation costs also are covered so that clients can keep medical appointments. During the day, DARE clients do chores in an effort to give back to the community and learn responsibility. Clients also take part in arts and sports programs. They participate in group and individual counselling and begin to learn how to live life free from substance abuse.
