Stonehenge Therapeutic Community (STC) offers a long-term intensive residential treatment program (5-6 months) for people whose lives have been devastated by chronic or acute substance use. Founded in 1971 by Dr. John Dougan, STC uses a modified 'therapeutic community' treatment model. This approach is based on the belief that chronic addiction comes with an acquired lifestyle and that recovery requires a holistic approach that challenges deeply ingrained behaviours and teaches healthy alternatives.
