Stonehenge celebrates 45th milestone
Stonehenge Therapeutic Community is celebrating its 45th year of providing addiction treatment services to adult men and women.
Founded in 1971 by Dr. John Dougan, Stonehenge has grown from a small abstinence-based, residential-only program to a renowned facility that offers gender-specific residential programs as well as a myriad of community-based programs that include addiction supportive housing, specialized outreach services, addiction support coordination and court support.
Based in Guelph Stonehenge is a not-for-profit health service provider that is funded by the Local Health Integration Network, Correctional Service Canada and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.
Stonehenge works together with individuals, families and communities impacted by substance use and co-occurring mental health issues to restore hope, dignity and self-respect.
Fundraising efforts began earlier this year and will kick off more formally at the agency’s annual general meeting in late June at the University of Guelph.
The invite-only event will be a celebration of 45 years of addiction treatment and service to the community with a theme of “45 Stories for 45 Years.”
Stonehenge is seeking donations by mail or via the donate button at www.stonehengetc.com.
