Dunham House: Who We Are & What We Do

Dunham House provides residential and outpatient services for individuals suffering from mental health and concurrent disorders, including addiction. Established in 2017, we have helped over 800 people overcome the challenges life has thrown their way.


We offer two residential programs at our facility in Dunham, Quebec; one is an intensive one-month individualized program, which can be extended, and the other is a six-month program that offers the same core program with additional life and home skills at a slower pace. Potential residents and their families can choose the program that best suits their needs. Our programs offer a psycho-educational program of workshops, group counselling, lectures, and residential responsibilities to help everyone develop the skills to deal with their illnesses and to have a better quality of life.


We also offer outpatient services from our Montreal office in the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex. Outpatient services complement our residential programs and are a vital component of the continuum of care for individuals dealing with addiction. Outpatient services provide support before and after participation in residential programs, offering a flexible and individualized approach to treatment. Outpatient services make aftercare accessible and cost-effective and integrate into the fabric of individuals' lives, contributing to sustained recovery and improved overall well-being.


Therapeutic activities such as art, music, yoga, and equine assisted therapy round out our programs and are offered throughout the week.


Our professional and accredited staff work tirelessly and are there for our residents 24/7. In summer, residents are able to benefit from our “garden to table” experience and enjoy the fresh produce from our 4,000 square foot vegetable and herb garden. Although still in the developmental stage, our garden will form the cornerstone of our new horticultural therapy program.


Dunham House is the only residential facility of its kind in Quebec that operates in English; as such, Dunham House provides a vital and much-needed resource for the English-speaking community and for the various hospitals, doctors and social workers that work with the English-speaking community in Quebec. Although accredited by CISSS de L'Estrie - Ouest, Dunham House is not government owned or operated but is owned by a non-profit corporation that is a registered Canadian charity.
