Stonehenge delivers long-term, intensive residential treatment services to those whose addiction/concurrent presentations are complex. Many of our clients enter treatment directly from the Federal and Provincial correctional systems.

About the Role:

In a Residential treatment environment, the Addiction Counsellor works with individuals who have acute and/or chronic addiction issues and concurrent issues.
