If this is about you

You didn't search this at random.

Your partner has said the words “I can't keep doing this” out loud.
You've found bottles hidden somewhere they didn't expect you to look.
You've heard “just tonight” more times than you can count — and stopped believing it.
You lie awake until you hear the front door.
It happened again last week, and this time the kids saw it.

You're not on this page by accident.
You're here because you're exhausted from carrying this alone.

The decision

You've tried this before.

Door one: Residential rehab

  • 30 to 90 days away
  • Loses their job
  • Loses their income
  • Family explains the absence to everyone
  • They've already said no

Door two: “Just talk to someone”

  • A counsellor once a week
  • No clinical assessment
  • No treatment plan
  • No coordination with mental health
  • They've tried it, it wasn't enough

Most families we talk to have stood in front of these two doors for months. One feels too big. The other feels too small. Neither one fits the actual life on fire in your kitchen.

There is a third door

Credentialed remote clinical care that matches the seriousness of residential treatment — without making your loved one disappear.

Our services

It's never just the one thing.

The person you love rarely has one tidy diagnosis. We separate them from the addictive behaviour, then build the motivation to change, help manage urges, work through the feelings underneath, and rebuild the balance that keeps recovery in place.

Addiction & Mental Health Treatment

Mental health and substance use are often two parts of the same story. Anxiety, depression, and trauma drive self‑medication, which deepens the underlying condition. We treat both together with a plan designed for their specific picture.

  • Build and maintain motivation
  • Manage urges and cravings
  • Healthier interpersonal skills and boundaries
  • A balanced life that supports sobriety

Sobriety & Life Skills Coaching

The first months of recovery are the hardest and the most decisive. We act as the advocate your family can count on through that window: reintegration, life skills, and the small daily structures that turn sobriety into something durable.

  • Reintegration into work, family, and routine
  • Practical life skills development
  • A continuum of care, not a discharge date
  • Making self‑empowerment a goal

Crisis Intervention & Counselling

When everything feels like it's on fire, you need someone who has been through it before. Our team has de‑escalated nearly every situation a family can face: restoring stability, navigating intense feelings, and protecting the long‑term outcome from a short‑term moment.

  • Same‑day crisis support
  • De‑escalation and stabilization
  • Safety planning with the family
  • Bridge to ongoing treatment when needed

Relationship Mediation

Addiction rarely affects only one person. We sit with couples and families as a mediator, never as a judge, to bring opposing viewpoints into the same room and rebuild the communication patterns recovery depends on.

  • Couples and family mediation
  • Communication and boundary frameworks
  • Joint sessions held in the home
  • Long‑term repair, not single‑session fixes

RecoverInHome helped my family through my depression, anxiety, and alcohol addiction. Yonah connected directly with my root issues to help me resolve them and move forward. I got my life and family back.

Why telehealth service

The right care is the one that fits your life.

Residential programs work for some. For many families, they don't, because of work, kids, a partner who can't be left alone, or because the person you love has already said no. The telehealth service answers that.

Privacy

No waiting rooms, no reception desk, no chance a neighbour or coworker sees something they'll ask about later. Treatment happens in a private and safe environment.

Continuity of life

Kids still get picked up. Work still happens. Therapy fits around the life their family is already holding together, instead of asking everyone to put it on pause.

Support that stays close

You're not a visitor to their recovery. You're part of it. We use CRAFT, the SMART Recovery family support model, to build that network where it actually lives, around the people who are already there. Work through it with our team, or with a SMART Recovery meeting: either way, it's the same approach.

How it works

What actually happens after your call.

It's hard to hand someone you love over to a treatment you don't know much about. They're not just a patient to you. You want them cared for the way you'd care for them yourself. We get that. So here are the four steps, from your first call to the end of treatment, laid out plainly.

  1. 01

    Talk to a clinician

    We have a free 30‑minute phone conversation with you, where we listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly if this approach is the right fit for your loved one or not.

  2. 02

    Free clinical assessment on video

    Yonah or one of our clinicians meets with your loved one in their private virtual office. We talk about substance use, sleep, mood, anxiety, and what's going on.

  3. 03

    90‑day clinical program

    Then a clinical program starts. It includes 4 video sessions a week, a weekly peer support group meeting, 24/7 phone support, and drug and alcohol testing done remotely. We can adjust the plan as they go.

  4. 04

    Ongoing support

    Most relapses happen after the program ends. We don't disappear at day 90, and neither should your support. Weekly support group meetings stay open for life, as well as free refresher sessions if needed.

*Please note: where medication needs to be part of the plan, we collaborate with their family doctor. We don't prescribe.

Our approach

The three things that never change.

Clinical

Therapy is delivered by credentialed Canadian clinicians, therapists, addiction counsellors, and mental health professionals, using evidence‑based protocols. Nothing about being in the home changes that standard.

Self‑empowerment

Our goal isn't to make your loved one reliant on us. Plans are built so the person in recovery owns the change long after our sessions end — that's why families report their loved one still doing well at 18+ months.

Discretion

Records are confidential and virtual visits are unmarked. We don't post case studies, we don't share faces, and we never confirm to anyone — including extended family or friends — that someone is a client.

What life looks like after

Eight months from now.

Wedding where you're not watching how much they've had.
Newlyweds sharing a first dance at their wedding reception while guests look on
Family sitting down to dinner together, at ease
Dinner where you're not bracing for what happens after.
Sunday morning where the whole house slept through the night.
Quiet morning at home, soft light, nobody rushing
Grocery bags on a kitchen counter, ordinary errand
Grocery run that doesn't end at the LCBO.
Their kids notice the difference before anyone says a word.
Family together at home, unposed, backs partly turned

That's the job. The treatment is how we get there.

What patients & their families say

They made the same call you're thinking about.

★★★★★

My husband wouldn't set foot in a rehab. They came to him — in our living room — and treated the anxiety underneath, the part every other program ignored. I got my partner back.

SarahLondon, ON
★★★★★

I was terrified of losing him for months to a facility. Instead, someone was on the phone at 2 a.m. when he needed it — and our family stayed together through the whole thing.

Mark's momMississauga, ON
★★★★★

They understood me and my challenges, and empowered me to make changes so recovery felt natural. They were with me every step of the way.

ChrisToronto, ON
★★★★★

We never had to explain a month-long absence to anyone. Treatment happened at home, around our kids' schedule — and it actually worked.

PriyaOttawa, ON
★★★★★

RecoverInHome helped my whole family. Yonah got to the root of it, and we came out closer than we were before.

Tell us what's happening.

You don't need to have the conversation with your loved one before you talk to us. You don't need a plan, a strategy, or the right words. Just some minutes on the phone with someone who has walked thousands of families through this same week.

Open 24/7 · Confidential · Free

We respond within one business day. Your message is held confidentially in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Nothing on this page commits you to anything. If telehealth isn't the right fit, we'll tell you that and point you somewhere it is.

Frequently asked questions

The things friends & family ask first.

Will they know I called first?

Not unless you want them to. This first call is yours alone. We'll help you think through how and when to involve them, and we won't reach out to them without your input.

What if they refuse to get help?

Many of the families we work with have already been told no once. Bringing therapy into the home through telehealth removes a lot of the reasons people refuse residential treatment in the first place. We can also talk you through how to approach the conversation.

Is there support for me, not just my loved one?

Yes. We use CRAFT, the same family support model taught through SMART Recovery, to help you communicate, set boundaries, and support their recovery without losing yourself in it. You can work through it with our team directly, or attend a SMART Recovery Family & Friends meeting. Either path uses the same approach.

What does it cost?

We're a private practice, and pricing is a fixed rate per client per month. We don't take insurance, so there's no waiting on approvals or claims to sort through. You'll know the exact cost before your loved one starts treatment.

What if I'm not sure telehealth is the right fit?

That's exactly what the first call is for. Telehealth isn't right for every situation — for example, where there are acute medical risks that require inpatient detox. We'll tell you honestly whether it fits, and point you elsewhere if it doesn't.

Will their employer find out?

No. We never contact their employer. There are no in‑person visits — sessions happen online, in a private virtual office, on their schedule.

Will it end up in their medical chart?

Not unless they sign for it. We don't talk to their family doctor without written permission.

“They don't think they're bad enough for real treatment.”

Most of the people we treat have a job, a family, and a life that looks fine from the outside. They don't have to lose everything before they get help — that's the part most families get wrong too.

Do you take provincial health insurance?

No. We're a private program and don't bill any provincial health plan, including OHIP, MSP, or AHCIP. That's also why there's no six month wait list. If you call today, they start today.
