- Our Facility
20 Private Bedrooms for Personalized Healing: Each room is designed to provide a peace, allowing the man to concentrate on their recovery journey.
3 Shared Lounges and 2 Sunrooms for Recreation: The shared lounges each have recreational material, including a television, musical instruments, board games, and an open-concept floorplan that facilitates conversation. The sunrooms are often a popular place for journaling, reflecting, and/or fellowship.
1 Industrial Kitchen: The industrial kitchen is a fundamental element in the comprehensive care of participants at Quintin Warner House. It supports healthy eating, provides essential life skills, fosters community, ensures operational efficiency, and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the treatment program.
1 Large Dining Room: The dining room was designed to be a multi-purposed space wherein the tables and chairs could easily and quickly be rearranged for group sessions between meal times. For meals, the tables are intentionally arranged in a way that fosters a sense of community, where no man eats alone or has to wonder which table he should sit at. This often looks like a U-shape. Additionally, the large dining room is big enough to hold any participants of Quintin Warner House's Annexes or graduated alumni if they'd like to return for family dinners on Sundays.
Private Offices for Addiction Counsellors: Private offices for addiction counsellors are crucial for creating an effective and supportive environment for both participants and professionals, ensuring of confidentiality, trust building, enhanced concentration, and reducing anxiety.

Group Therapy: Participation in group therapy sessions where the men can share experiences, gain support from peers, and learn valuable coping skills in a supportive setting.
Life Skills Training: The program aims to help the men build essential life skills to help transition back into the community with a routined schedule. Our focus includes nutrition management, stress reduction techniques, healthy lifestyle choices, and repairing or developing valuable relationships for the participant.
