It is with a deep sense of gratitude and profound reflection that we share an important update with you. After 40 years of dedicated service, our rehabilitation centre in Elora will be closing its doors due to financial and economic challenges that, despite our best efforts, could no longer be overcome. This has been an incredibly difficult decision for all of us, but we remain committed to ensuring that our current clients continue to receive the care they need and have helped them transition to another Portage centre for the completion of their therapy.
We would like to take a moment to recognize the efforts of all of those who have overcome addiction and taken back control over their lives. Over the past four decades, we have helped hundreds of youth to regain a better quality of life and to reintegrate fully into their environment, thanks to a human approach focused on the well-being of our clients.
If you require urgent assistance, please contact Connex Ontario at 1-866-531-2600.
Portage Ontario, a non-profit organisation established in 1985, operates a residential drug addiction rehabilitation centre for youth in Elora, Ontario.
In the therapeutic community environment, residents work through the underlying issues that caused their substance abuse and develop a set of social competencies that will help them deal with the challenges of everyday life without resorting to drug abuse. They develop the self-esteem and confidence to go on to lead healthy, productive, drug-free lives.
The Portage Elora treatment centre serves Ontario youth referred by parents, schools, family physicians, hospitals, other addiction-treatment and youth-serving agencies, as well as Youth Justice and the Children's Aid Society.
