I can’t express in words how grateful I am to have gone to Metamorphosis. The staff and fellow clients have made a tremendous impact on me and my outlook on life. Meta has helped me formulate a new start in my life for the better, and for that, I am forever thankful. My primary counselor Rick was exactly the person I needed to put me in the right direction. Not dismissing any of the other staff, who were all kind and understanding people, there to help and make a positive change in everyone who has passed through those doors. I’ll forever consider my experience there as one of the best and life changing moments I’ve ever lived. Choose Metamorphosis if you’re ready to make a real change for the better. You won’t be sorry.

I don’t even know where to start with this.
How do you write a review on a place that changed your entire life- spiritually, mentally and physically.
Metamorphosis is the best way to describe this place because You WILL come out of here as a changed individual.
From the cooking staff, the counsellors, the nurses, owners, students, peers and everything in between – The people and this center will leave you with the great strength to face sobriety.

I went into this rehab as a broken soul… no hope left to live. I stayed for the 30 days and everyday was a growing experience. Thru my incredible main counsellors Jenn and Jeff <3 I was able to overcome my demons, trauma and have hope for change.
The activities, classes, the incredible food, the mindfulness, the motivation, the new way of life you learn to live with and be happy with is priceless.

This rehab center is a life long sober friend, you gain access to lifelong classes, new friends and check-ins from your counsellors after you leave.
The access to a psychotherapist, psychiatrist, riki, massage, tai chi, yoga, weight room, counseling, art therapy, music therapy, AA, SMART recovery, and so much more. All of this is freeing to learn who you are and gives you the tools for success.

If you are struggling , and need HELP , please don’t hesitate to call this place and at least take a tour to see how they can assist you.
Thank you Metamorphosis for changing my life, I will always be grateful for you’s.

This treatment center is far different from any of the other ones that I’ve been too. After a twenty three year battle with addiction, I came here for thirty days. Here they get to the root of your issues, whether that be trauma, mental health, or a combination of both. Addiction support is provided by helping you structure an extensive recovery framework, aftercare, and structured relapse prevention. The owners Frank and Chris are great, and they really care about their clients. They always have a moment to chat with you. The counselors are fantastic, as well as all of the staff here. 🖤🩶🤍

** update** keep reading below to read the full story of my experience at Metamorphosis.** since leaving Metamorphosis; I had a few relapses. Metamorphosis after care helped me a lot. The continued support and encouragement from Vicky, Rick And Troy also helped. Chris and Frank have been nothing but supportive towards my recovery. I’m still in consistent communication with them. I am currently 596 days sober. I’m in school for addictions and mental health counselling. I am planning on doing my school placement at Metamorphosis, so I can give back to what was given to me. (Please read below my review I wrote two years ago)

My addiction got so bad to the point I didn’t think I could get help. 2 weeks before metamorphosis I was literally on my knees crying because I couldn’t get sober and I was praying to someone or something to help me, because I knew I couldn’t do it on my own.

One night I got assaulted outside of a bar and was placed on life support for 3 days. After waking up I was placed in the trauma unit. After spending 7 days in the trauma unit I went straight to Metamorphosis because I knew I had to change my life around.

When I showed up there I was greeted by Vicky and Veronica. I’ve never been so warmly greeted and I could see that they actually cared, I felt it. I didn’t know how they could help me but I felt they could.

When I first sat down with my councillor there was an instant connection. I never thought a Dalas Cowboys fan could be so nice, her name is Nicole and she really helped change my life. I remember my first homework she gave me was called a benefit and cost list, We both came to the conclusion that cocaine had cons that out weighed the benefits of using the substance.

Ricks morning lessons really started to hit hard when he spoke of expectations of others, judgments of others, hypocrisy of others, family and relationships, speak your mind, resentments, forgiveness. In all of his lessons he taught and still continue to teach self love, self worthiness, self acceptance and it helps build your self esteem. His teachings also talks about how we can have a clear head, clear heart and a clear gut. He was the first person that has ever told me addiction isn’t a disease, addiction is a choice.

As two weeks progressed I already started to feel my life was changing. With that change, I started to learn about radical acceptance. Radical acceptance is a tools that uses dialectical behaviour therapy, This was a huge piece of a puzzle of how I was able to get my life together, and it made me come to a self realization I was now able to get everything under control!

After leaving Metamorphosis, I have become close with a lot of counsellors; because I see them as mentors. Jennifer and I have developed a bond over reading, dialectal behavioural therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, she is someone who I look up to and have a huge amount of respect for.

The nursing staff are great! Chris, and Melissa really are encouraging and have the interest of all the clients at heart.

Karrie at the front desk is very supportive and goes above and beyond in making sure every client enjoys their stay.

Troy was always helpful in calming me down and providing excellent suggestions to approach situations and helped me get in a sober living facility called The Recovery Place in Toronto.

Frank and Chris run metamorphosis ethically they both really care for all clients and they run their business all for the right reasons!

Metamorphosis saved my life!

I attended the center in October of 2024, and I’ll never forget my first day. I was assisted by Vicky Reid one of the councillors. Instantly she felt like a mom to me. I felt at home welcomed and I knew this was the right place. I adjusted very well and every staff member was truly amazing right down to the cooks and cleaning staff. It’s all what you make it and if your willing to put into the work, there program works! I had an amazing experience, loved the classes as they were from experience and not just books like the other rehabs I went to. It was a family feeling. The food is amazing. I’m 8 months sober and had attended 2 rehabs and nothing compares to metamorphosis! Definitely will be attending their summer bbq!

I don’t even where to start… from the first day walking through those doors in tears, as a severely depressed and emotionally/mentally broken person. I was very skeptical and couldn’t bring myself to think I could change or “get better”… Committing to the Metamorphosis program literally saved my life as I was in my darkest times and felt like I was about to give up and let the darkness take my life. Within my 30 days, I obtained new life skills, tools to use to better myself, made incredible new friends, and got back on a healthier track, diet and fitness wise. ALL of the onsite counsellors are beyond amazing at what they do. Really getting to know everyone and understand our own personal struggles to help with coping skills and overcoming any challenge we wanted to overcome. I feel blessed and forever grateful to have had an amazing self transformation thanks to everyone that guided and helped me with my journey. Frank & Chris.. I can’t thank you enough for creating the most amazing place for someone to feel so safe and cared for while in transition for a better life. Metamorphosis will forever be a part of me!

I cannot stress enough how amazing this center is.Frank and Chris are incredible at what they do and how they treat people. The counselors such as Vicky,Sara,Jeff,Troy,Jenn,Rick,Punkty, gary and have helped me drastically. The support works Dayna,Gina,Julie,Joe,Pam and Gary are also very kind and amazing people. The overnight staff are also very kind. I cannot stress enough how good the nursing staff such as Kelly, Emily,Katie,and Tammy have also helped me so much. The executive secretary Carrie is very organized and is amazing at her job. When I came into this place I was a broken person and I look at myself now I’m still not a 100 percent but I’m definitely alot better than I was. I owe that not only to myself and family but also to metamorphosis center for change. If I could give this place 6 stars I honestly would. Also shout out to the kitchen staff I did not have one bad meal in my 45 day stay.

Spent awhile researching your website but where — the obvious question — is your pricing infrastructure? Maybe I missed it? If not, and I appreciate that tailoring is relevant, but a series of baseline cost structures (inpatient or otherwise) works be helpful.

Condensed, and more bluntly, great that you ostensibly want to help people, but enigmatic (or non existent) pricing only comes across as potentially exploitative. I’m other words

I can’t say enough good things about my time at metamorphosis! It truly was transformative. I came in for the 2 week in-person and 2-week virtual program and ended up staying for a month in-person and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Everybody who works there is passionate, knowledgeable and most importantly, caring of all those who stay there. I truly felt safe from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. All of the counsellors are amazing but I do need to give a BIG shout out to Rick – don’t let his gruff demeanour throw you off, that man has a heart of gold and did more for me in 1 month than years of therapy did. My biggest advice for those considering staying at the centre is do the work, dig deep knowing that you’re supported and you’ll be come out on the other side stronger than ever.

The food there is great – the chefs are wonderful and caring! You won’t starve while you’re there. The days are generally busy but you’ll find some downtime thrown in too which is really good in terms of setting you up for success when you leave. There are plenty of activities to do while you’re there from yoga – taichi – gym, arts, etc. They do really tailor the treatment to your needs, something I truly appreciated! Finally, the amount of 1 on 1 support you get is amazing – counsellors, therapists, doctors and psychiatrists! The nurses are also wonderful and very attentive to your needs.

I could keep going but I’ll just end by saying that my only regret was not going sooner (though I think I went just when I needed to).

    Great Place

    Our family had a loved one stay at Metamorphosis, and while the experience presented some challenges, we appreciated the compassion shown by the main counsellors. They were genuinely caring and tried their best to offer support during a difficult time.

    The facility uses virtual appointments for the addiction doctor and psychiatrist, which may work for some but didn’t quite meet the needs of our loved one, who was dealing with anxiety, depression, and substance dependence. The on-site medical presence is limited to a nurse, and in our case, we felt more specialized, hands-on care would have been beneficial — particularly during withdrawal and medication transitions.

    We were surprised that there was no formal contract provided to our family to review or sign for the 30-day stay, and we found the program costs to be quite high compared to the level of medical involvement. Unfortunately, our loved one’s condition did not improve as hoped.

    That said, we believe Metamorphosis may be a good fit for individuals with less complex needs, and we’re thankful for the kindness and empathy shown by the counseling team throughout the process.

    True Recovery at Metamorphosis

    This treatment center is unlike any other I’ve been to. After a 23-year battle with addiction, I came to Metamorphosis for a 30-day stay—and it was truly life-changing. What sets this place apart is how deeply they focus on the root causes of addiction. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, mental health challenges, or both, the team here takes the time to understand your story and tailor support accordingly. The recovery program is incredibly thorough. It’s not just about getting clean—it’s about building a long-term, structured recovery framework that includes aftercare, relapse prevention, and ongoing support. The owners, Frank and Chris, genuinely care about everyone who walks through their doors. They’re approachable, compassionate, and always willing to talk with you. The counselors and staff are equally amazing—supportive, professional, and truly dedicated to your healing. If you’re looking for a place that offers real transformation with a team that truly cares, this is it.
