Welcome to Newgate 180 Addiction Treatment Facility
Our addiction treatment centre in Ontario provides the perfect setting to work on your recovery.
Our Approach to Addiction Treatment
We approach addiction treatment through a holistic lens.
12-month Program
Our one-year program begins with a 30-day residency in Merrickville, followed by an 11-month ongoing outpatient program, totalling 12 months of all-inclusive care and support. We provide dedicated focus areas tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients, including trauma-informed care during the recovery process, and building coping skills and resilience.
Unique Facility, Proven Methods
During your stay at our Merrickville facility, we offer encouragement, personalized methods and evidence-based treatment. We use a proven, time-tested approach that will align with your specific circumstances so we can guide you along the path to emotional and physical wellness.
Continuous Support
We’ve helped more than 5,000 individuals since our inception because we focus on support throughout the recovery process: from beginning to end, and beyond. This is in no small part thanks to our intensive outpatient program, which gives clients and their loved ones the tools for success.
Individual and Group Programs
Our treatment programs are delivered both individually and in groups, with approximately 70% of our group programs delivered to men and women separately to help clients comfortably and genuinely express their gender-specific experiences.

Men’s Addiction Treatment Program
While delivering our men’s addiction rehab programming, our addiction treatment team works with our male clients to understand and share their perspective on masculinity, societal expectations, stigma, shame, risky behaviours and physical and mental health.
Our program fosters an environment where men can build meaningful connections among their peers at Newgate 180 and can share their experiences without fear of judgment.
Women’s Addiction Treatment Program
Throughout our women’s programming, we work with clients on understanding women’s perspectives and the impacts of addiction on body image, stigma, shame, risky behaviours and physical and mental health. Societal pressures, caregiving expectations, relationships, mental health and trauma all impact women uniquely, and we believe they need to be addressed as such through treatment.
All women’s programming is delivered by our female clinical team. Our program fosters an environment where women can build meaningful connections among their peers in the program and can share their experiences without fear of judgment.
Trauma-Informed Recovery
Our program is trauma-informed, recognizing the pervasive impact of trauma on every aspect of a woman’s life. We understand that trauma affects individuals in profound and lasting ways, and we integrate this awareness into all areas of our programming.
Many women develop maladaptive coping mechanisms, such as substance use, as a way to manage the effects of past trauma. At Newgate 180, we believe it is essential for women to establish a solid foundation in recovery and develop healthy coping strategies before engaging in trauma work. If this “Pandora’s box” is opened too soon, clients often revert to old coping mechanisms, which only perpetuates the cycle of trauma.
Throughout our program, we support clients in building grounding techniques, coping skills, and a strong support network, all of which are essential for effectively accessing ongoing trauma therapy.
Please note: Newgate 180 is not a trauma centre and does not focus on directly processing past trauma. Instead, we ensure our clients are equipped with the necessary tools and resilience to engage in trauma therapy when they are ready.
Our Main Street Centre and Residence
We do everything possible to make our clients feel safe, at home and comfortable during their stay. Our residence aims to foster a sense of community and healing among clients.
Our addiction treatment and rehab facility is in a beautiful Victorian home on the banks of the Rideau River in Merrickville. This peaceful, private, non-institutional setting offers solace from the pressures of daily life and is the perfect place to start the recovery process.
The Main Street Centre offers clean and comfortably appointed, private and semi-private rooms, fitness classes and equipment, outdoor activities (fishing, kayaking and canoeing right in our backyard), village walks, art classes and supplies, games, a big screen TV and movies, a truly memorable and very comfortable living space.
Please note: We offer gender-separated accommodations designed to ensure a private, safe, and comfortable environment for both men and women.
