Forest City Healing Centre is committed to providing men with a safe, steady, and respectful place to begin recovery, grounded in structure, dignity, and emotional safety.
Our program is delivered by a team that brings together compassion, lived experience, and professional training. Men receive consistent guidance grounded in care, integrity, and accountability, within an environment where dignity, connection, and respect shape everyday experience.
OUR RECOVERY PHILOSOPHY
Our recovery philosophy is grounded in a simple belief: lasting change is built in environments that are safe, structured, and deeply human. Our programming is evidence-based and experience-informed, guided by established principles that address the emotional, behavioural, relational, and environmental factors connected to substance use.
Through structured daily routines, group engagement, practical skill-building, and the development of emotional awareness, men are supported in building healthier habits, deeper self-understanding, and personal responsibility. The focus is not intensity or pressure, but consistency, clarity, and steady practice.
Every man’s recovery path is unique. Our role is to provide the structure and support needed to take a solid first step forward. If you’re considering residential treatment, we’re here to talk.

Who We Help
Forest City Healing Centre supports adult men (18+) who are navigating substance use and are seeking a safe, structured place to begin recovery. Our 28-day men’s residential recovery program in London, Ontario is designed for men who have completed withdrawal management prior to arrival and are prepared to engage in daily routines, group connection, and guided self-reflection.
Men come to us from London, Southwestern Ontario, and across Canada seeking steadier footing, emotional safety, and support that feels respectful and grounded. Many are high-functioning but struggling, emotionally shut down, or unsure how to move forward. We meet each man where he is, offering structure without pressure and guidance without judgment.
Our program is best suited for men who are ready to participate in community living and take an active role in their recovery within a supportive, structured environment.
