Varies by program.
The Jean Tweed Centre was established in 1983 on behalf of Jean Shannon Tweed - a woman who saw the need for a safe and supportive environment for women so that they could address their substance use issues. Jean was a pioneer in advancing the cause of women-specific programming and it was to acknowledge and validate her beliefs that the Centre was named in her honour.
Since its founding, the Centre has evolved and grown to become one of the largest non-medical, community-based substance abuse and problem-gambling treatment facilities for women in Ontario. The Centre offers a wide range of services including out patient programs, a residential program and a trauma program for women who access our substance abuse and/ or our problem gambling program.
The Jean Tweed Centre is one of the only substance abuse and problem gambling treatment facilities in the county that has a licensed onsite child care centre. As part of our focus on women, parenting and children we routinely conduct parenting and attachment workshops, child developmental assessments and home visits. Additionally, the centre welcomes women with concurrent mental health and substance use problems.
Self referral or referrals from service providers are accepted
