Our Philosophy and Values

Caritas’ philosophy includes the belief that addiction and other major life problems must be interpreted within a “Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual” framework. Therefore the program addresses the human life in its entirety: The living body (bio-medical), the thinking and feeling part (psychological), social skills (or lack there of), and the individual’s spiritual needs. The multidimensional holistic, non-sectarian approach to treatment allows the individual to affect change in all of these aspects of his/her life, thus permitting a return to a state of fulfilling co-operation with the world around them.

Residential Program

The duration of the program is 25 months and it is offered as a complete experience in 4 phases. Caritas has both urban and rural settings: The main Centre and residences located in North Toronto, and the 90 acre farm and spiritual Centre, located approximately 25 minutes north of the Centre.
