About this facility
Located in a quiet, hotel-like environment near major transit routes, the center serves individuals with substance use disorders (SUD), depression, and co-occurring psychiatric conditions. Clients receive structured care that combines intensive therapy, medical oversight, and family involvement, all within a private setting with easy transportation to clinical appointments.
Fernside applies a multidisciplinary approach that integrates individual and group therapy, psychiatric management, and expressive modalities. Treatments such as yoga and art support emotional regulation, while symptom education and medication evaluation guide clients toward sustained progress. Direct care staff and medical professionals ensure continuity across each stage of recovery.
Beyond clinical care, Fernside emphasizes comfort and routine through private accommodations, daily housekeeping, and nutrition planning. Services include smoking cessation support, a fully equipped fitness studio, and scheduled sessions with nutritional consultants. This blend of wellness offerings complements therapy and allows each individual to engage fully with their healing.
