Are you struggling with an addiction? Are you considering getting help?

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, the Centre welcomes all members of the substance using community. A stay at the Centre will allow you to safely withdraw from the substance you have been using in the presence of knowledgeable staff. Your stay here may be the first step in your journey to recovery.

Located at 62 Bruyère Street in the Ottawa Byward Market, the Centre is a non-medical Level 2 facility that offers withdrawal management services to men and women 16 years old and older. There are 20 beds to accommodate 15 men and 5 women at all times.

The Ottawa Withdrawal Management Centre was previously called the Ottawa Detoxification Centre or Detox. The name has been changed to reflect the work of the staff and the services provided to the community.  Staff are trained to assist clients who are in a state of acute intoxification or withdrawal to manage their physical and mental health and safety.

Montfort Hospital is responsible for the OWMC since 2005, and has entrusted its management to  Montfort Rennaissance Inc. The OWMC is part of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) .
