If your looking for good, quality recovery, then this place is not it. I've been here twice, the second time I realized quickly that I'm wasting my time here. This place is not worth the money. The website boasts beautiful gardens, the gardens, beds, furniture and the house is very welfare. There were several meals I opted out from as the food was just terrible. Everything is old and broken, except the owners brand new Lincoln lol. I was conned twice by the owner over money. Definitely the worst rehab. There are tons of great rehabs in Canada. Don't waste your time or money at this one. The councilors were top notch but you usually only get to see them once every two weeks, twice if your lucky. Extremely understaffed. Upper management are I'll mannered and not fit to be in their positions of helping people.

Often compared to a "charming inn", Ledgehill offers their guests a secluded location where relaxing surroundings and welcoming staff play important roles.
About Ledgehill
Ledgehill specializes in providing treatment for those suffering from chemical addictions and behavioral addictions such as sex and gambling. The program utilizes a holistic approach, focusing on behavioral and narrative therapies, as well as healthy lifestyle coaching. The average length of the program is 42 days, although longer stays are available. Ledgehill focuses on treating the person as a whole. They create individually tailored recovery plans for each client. Treatment can include individual counseling, physical exercise, spiritual counseling, CBT, 12-Step facilitation, and relapse prevention. The weekdays are structured and start at 7:15am with a morning routine that includes readings, a filling breakfast, and mindfulness and mediation sessions. Psycho-educational and process groups are attended Monday through Friday. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon are for recreational breaks or therapy that may include phototherapy, art, yoga, meditation, or hiking. Evenings are primarily self-directed time, with the exception of 3 community based AA or NA meetings.
The Ledgehill Center is located in the beautiful real area of Lawrencetown, Canada. Ledgehill provides gender-specific housing in their charming inn-like home. They offer private and semi-private rooms each with an en-suite bathroom. The property covers more than 110-acres of fields, woods, and “the Ledge on the hill” for which the property was named. Numerous paths and quiet areas are found around the property and close by are miles of beaches and beautiful shorelines. Clients can enjoy weekend recreational outings and healthy and nutritious meals provided on-site. Ledgehill accepts most private insurance.

Ledgehill's location is beautiful and calming. I went through two periods of treatment. I recently took the time to examine my experience in rehab as an exercise in my own recovery program. I would not recommend this program but I am happy to hear of those who have had success from it. Little separation between client, stress of staff, and business. Program was extremely repetitive, individual sessions limited and just a general disorganization. I received the most guidance from the volunteers. Unfortunately my counsellor was more interested in studying me than actually listening/providing treatment. I was improperly prescribed benzodiazepine's and given for an extended period of time. Overall I did learn from some great volunteers/counsellors. I was admitted for a second time and really its upsetting to think back on that experience. Admitting clients who had to complete program in order to return to work, clients switching meds, sneaking out at night, list goes on. What has stuck with me is the ultimatum I was given about Aftercare program. You have to complete our idea of closure/healing and openly share your story with the group even though you suffer from painful anxiety. This can be difficult for anyone but shouldn't be forced on you. I had a difficult time- clearly in crisis- asked for help- and never received after care. We are all individuals and our experiences can be positive or negative. I would just say continue your research- and wish you the best of luck
