About Andy's House

Our programs, facility and dedicated staff make Andy’s House one of the best available drug and alcohol rehab centres for you or your loved one.

We are a private addiction treatment centre based in the West Island of Montreal. We assist individuals that are suffering from alcohol and substance use disorders in their path to recovery through inpatient and outpatient programs.

The History Behind
Our Treament Centre

  • Andy’s House was founded and is operated by people in long-term recovery and professionals who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others. Here’s a quick look at our history.

    In October of 1997, at 30 years of age, our director Mike Weston entered the 90-day treatment program for alcohol and drug use at a prominent Montreal centre. During that time, he would experience two life-changing moments that would eventually bring him to where he is today; being a sober, loving father of five children and being co-proprietor of Andy’s House.

    His recovery journey, under the guidance of counselor Glenn Short, was the first moment and it would become a pivotal moment in Mike’s life. It would result in a life in sobriety, a cherished friendship and an eventual partnership as co-proprietor of Andy’s House.

  • The second moment came in 2015, when the opportunity arose to purchase the centre that had given Mike his life back. Along with his partner Isobel Williams and Glenn Short, the three friends became co-owners of what would come to be known as Andy’s House Treatment Centre.

    In July of 2015, Mike and Liz found the new home, which would house the residents of Andy’s House. Set just a block from the shores of the Lachine Canal and Lac St Louis, the old Victorian era home, with its spacious rooms, warm woodwork throughout and outdoor gardens make for an ideal therapeutic environment.

    On August 29, 2015, with the help of many families and graduate residents, we moved into the new house.

Our Namesake:
A Tribute to a
Wonderful Life Lost

On April 16th, 1998 our director’s brother Andy, passed away suddenly at the age of twenty two. He was a kind and gentle soul who suffered in silence until he lost hope. We believe there is always hope, so to honour his loving spirit our treatment centre was named Andy’s House.

Why Andy’s House?

  • Spacious Home Environment

    Andy’s House is located in Montreal, Canada and is close to the shores of the St Lawrence river. The house is a beautiful example of an impressive American “Four Square’, a popular design choice of the early 1900’s. With spacious living areas on three floors and a fully equipped gym and second kitchen at the basement level, there is ample room to accommodate groups while also providing more private spaces for individualized care.

    The large garden is an oasis of calm, filled with trees, sitting areas and a swimming pool for those hot summer days.

    For families visiting loved ones, the surrounding area is full of cafes, restaurants, museums, and a walking/biking path that winds itself along the shore of the river.

    Our intention is to provide a loving home atmosphere in which to heal and surrender to one of the best treatment centre programs in Canada.

  • Experienced Team

    Careful team selection has resulted in one of the most qualified, experienced, and professional team of caring individuals of any English addiction rehab in Quebec. Our team, comprised of certified drug and alcohol addictions counsellors, an addictions medicine physician, social worker, and psychotherapist, offer highly specialized care and treatment approaches.

  • Family Support Group

    Gain more positive outcomes for your loved ones with our lifetime family support program, provided whether your loved one remains in our program of recovery or not. By offering family counselling services, and weekly family support groups, we help our residents and their loved ones uncover complex family dynamics and dysfunctional patterns that may be promoting or sustaining addiction. Once these problematic patterns are identified, family members work together to foster a healthier family system that supports individuals in their ongoing journey towards recovery.

  • 2-year Aftercare Program

    Our 2-year weekly, aftercare program allows alumni to stay connected with their support network and discuss their ongoing recovery. There is a reduced risk of relapse for individuals who participate in aftercare programs. The Andy’s House aftercare program, in combination with our Lifetime Support program, can help alumni navigate the challenges of sober living. The added support helps clients build the confidence they need to maintain their sobriety.

  • Individualized Programs

    There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment. Using a combination of evidenced based approaches and a 12 step model, our clinical team works together to carefully tailor a treatment plan that will meet the needs of each individual and is reviewed every 30 days.

  • Lifetime Support

    Continue your recovery program by visiting the facility anytime during the day. We encourage ongoing attendance in group sessions and participation in House activities. Clients can benefit from ongoing access to their caseworker and one on one counselling and guidance for as long as they remain in our program of recovery.
