Maybe you have always managed before, but now something just feels off. We can do this together.

Alcohol can sneak into your life quietly, making everyday things harder than they should be. Maybe you are ready to change, but worried about stigma or fitting recovery around your busy life. Whether its for yourself or a loved one, HBRs fully online program offers flexible, evidence-based coaching that fits your schedule and respects your privacy.

Drug use can affect anyone. What might start as occasional or prescribed use can become a pattern that impacts your health, relationships, work, and overall quality of life. If you are noticing the signs and want to regain control, HBRs 100% online recovery program offers confidential support tailored to you. With guidance from experienced Canadian Certified Recovery Coaches and licensed therapists, you can reduce or stop drug use at your own pace, in a way that fits your life. If you are dealing with cravings, struggling with motivation, or looking for practical strategies to manage triggers and stress, we provide compassionate, evidencebased help to build lasting change.

Co-occurring addiction (aka dual diagnosis or concurrent disorders) means facing both a substance use issue and a mental health condition at the same time. This is an important distinction: if conditions are treated separately, cooccurrence is associated with higher risks of overdose, suicide, hospitalisation, homelessness, and poorer treatment outcomes.

Fortunately, integrated, concurrentcapable care such as HBR leads to better retention and outcomes while also being more accessible.

Gambling often begins as harmless fun. However, for many people, what starts as casual betting or gambling can quickly become overwhelming and difficult to manage. If you find that gambling is affecting your finances, straining your relationships, or disrupting your peace of mind, know that you are not alone. We are here to help. With Home Based Recovery, you can start your recovery journey confidentially, with expert gambling addiction support designed to meet you where you are.

Compulsive sexual behaviours or pornography use can feel deeply isolating and overwhelming. Feelings of shame, guilt, and confusion run high. You might worry that there is something fundamentally wrong with you. This is not true. These behaviours are common challenges that many people face, and they do not define your worth or your future.

However, it can be difficult to break free from these patterns on your own. You may have tried to stop or cut back before, only to find the urges continue, leaving you feeling stuck and frustrated.

Cannabis is part of everyday life for many. But sometimes what started as casual use can begin to affect your everyday life. People often smoke cannabis for relaxation, socializing, or managing stress. But what begins as casual or occasional use can sometimes lead to unexpected, harmful effects, interfering with your motivation, memory, relationships, or overall well-being. If you find yourself using more often than planned, struggling to cut back, or feeling like cannabis is taking over your day-to-day life, youre not alone. Help is available to help you manage your habits, regain balance, and feel more in control again.

Alcohol use disorder affects women in ways that are often overlooked. Many even delay getting the help they need, believing it to be impractical or inaccessible. For most women, parenting and work make it challenging for them to attend traditional treatment programs. Home Based Recovery provides private, one-on-one online alcohol treatment designed specifically to support women, taking into consideration their daily activities. This allows them to begin their journey towards recovery without leaving home or putting responsibilities on hold.

Alcohol use often begins as a way to manage stress or to unwind. Over time, it shifts into a pattern thats harder to control. Most men reach a point where drinking starts to take more than it gives. Research from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health shows that online therapy interventions can help individuals with alcohol use disorder reduce their consumption significantly. It notes how change becomes more achievable when support is consistent, practical, and built around your daily life.

Cocaine addiction can affect sleep, mood, relationships, work, finances, trust, and a persons sense of control. It can also be painful for families who want to help but feel unsure what to say or where to begin. Home Based Recovery provides private, one-on-one cocaine addiction treatment through licensed therapists and certified recovery coaches who support people with care, respect, and practical guidance.

Screens and games have become a natural part of everyday life. However, when screen time and game playing start taking over your life, seeking gaming addiction support is a clear step to pause and reconsider.

Excessive gaming or scrolling can quietly disrupt your sleep, focus, and mood, leading to feelings of isolation or stress. The good news is that you do not have to face this alone. Real change is possible, and it starts here.

Chasing energy or confidence with stimulants like cocaine, meth, or prescription study drugs can lead to major challenges that are difficult to fix. These substances may seem to offer a boost at first, but over time, their use often spirals into challenges that affect your work, relationships, and sense of who you are. Even when stimulant use begins to interfere with daily life, many hesitate to seek help due to concerns about privacy, stigma, or long waitlists. Home Based Recoverys online program solves these problems and more.

I only have positive feedback about the HBR program. I decided to take part in the self-directed program which allowed me to complete the program at my own pace while continuing to work full-time. It is a very easy program to navigate and I was able to make a monthly payment plan which allowed some financial flexibility. My Recovery Coach was very hands on and always communicative. If I needed to reschedule a meeting, I was met with understanding.

I would recommend this program to anyone interested in making changes while understanding themselves better and their relationship with substances. Non-judgemental, professional and knowledgeable service. I researched many home-based programs before choosing HBR and I am so glad I did!

As someone who has worked in mental health and addictions treatment since 2004, I have come to know HBR's management team--Michael Berry, Michael Walsh, and Rob de Clark. They are dedicated, experienced professionals. I recommend HBR for those who are unable to attend inpatient treatment.

After nearly a decade sober, I found myself relapsing. And those relapses were getting consistently shorter and more frequent. I knew I needed to do something, but I couldn't take time off work. I just needed a swift kick in the ass to get back on track. I'd been taught the tools in rehab years ago. I just needed to remember how to use them. The HBR virtual IOP program gave me exactly that. The professional staff helped me get back to basics and rebuild my recovery foundation.

What impressed me most was how they went above and beyond, they even helped me address the chronic pain issues that were a major driver of my current substance use. Today I'm back on track, managing both my recovery and my pain in healthier ways. If you're in a similar situation and need structured support that fits around your work schedule, I highly recommend this program.

I have used HBR's aftercare program every Sunday for about 15 months and can say for certain that it is my favorite meeting i attend ... I've been sober for over a year now and will continue to use them as part of my ongoing recovery program... Anybody looking for sobriety needs to start somewhere and HBR is definitely a great place to start your journey to a better life

I don't believe I would have been able to achieve and maintain sobriety without having access to this home based program. Leaving my young family to enter a treatment center was not an option. The intensive recovery support I received going through the first 30 days of HBR made all the difference. The material is thoughtful, engaging, and based on a progressive understanding of addiction. I'm very grateful for the HBR program and the clear path to sobriety it provided me!

I had a really positive experience with HBR. I cant say enough good things about their whole team. They provide everything they promise and so much more. The whole team is great I cant name just one person. If you put your best foot forward and follow the outline I think anyone trying to move their life in a positive direction can benefit greatly from this program. I appreciate all the help and hope to continue some of the relationships Ive made :)

I participated in the HBR online addition program at the end of 2023. I am grateful to say I have been sober for 14 months. This is the longest period of sobriety I have experienced in over a decade of trying many programs, pills and plans! The support, encouragement, cheerleading and wisdom from Michael and the HBR program has been instrumental in my success to date. This was the first time I did a one on one program which really fit my needs at the time.

The other programs I tried in the past were group focused with a small portion one on one. I had success for short periods of time but the intensive one on one was my game changer. I found the encouraging non judgmental support from Michael allowed me to dig deep and express my feelings. I am 60 so that is a lot of digging!! I am grateful that I allowed myself to seek help and bravely work hard. I am grateful HBR was there to stand by me and guide my journey! Thank you so so much.

HBR has been incredibly important to my recovery. Brilliant group leadership, very useful tools introduced, high levels of trust, support and authenticity and the relationships built with fellow group members have been useful beyond what I expected.

It's hard to put into words just how much this program helped me. If you're looking to make a change in your life, but are unsure where to begin or how to go about it, the HBR program is a great place to start. It offers tons of tools and resources that are easy to apply to everyday life, and the support you receive (not only during the bulk of the program, but continuing on after) has been essential in my own personal recovery. I was able to get the help I needed without uprooting my entire life. I am so, so grateful to Michael Walsh, as well as everyone else involved in the program.

The team and the program are everything I could have hoped for. I highly recommend the program for anyone who is ready to make a change in their lives. Very grateful for Dr. Walsh and Dr. Berry. The program keeps you accountable, helps change your mindset and you are fully supported throughout by the team of specialists.

Incredible program. Having not done it myself, I have been involved with two people running through their system. The difference i have seen it make in peoples lives is wonderful.

Cant recommend the HBR team enough.

While I haven't used HBR services, I know the architects of this program, and they are top-shelf in their respective professions. As a Canadian Recovery Coach, I wouldn't hesitate to refer a client to HBR. I see this as an essential addition to the addiction services currently available in Canada.
