Fubar,

Don't take this necessarily as a recommendation but a friend of mine (also an alcoholic) went through the program at North York General, Branson Division and found it to be quite good and he's still sober.

DART - Online Treatment Directory - North York General Hospital - Assessment Program

It's not a step program though as I understand it. But it's non-spiritual. It's open to people with all addictions not just alcoholics.

It's headed up by an MD who specializes in addiction and conducts many of the sessions so participants get reliable medical advice/commentary. Other sessions are conducted by an RN and a Psychologist. I think it's 12 weeks long and there are four sessions per week. The group consists of about 10-14 people or so. After the program, there are ongoing sessions that "graduates" are welcome to attend. The hospital also offers a number of other programs not necessarily on addiction but "psychiatric" related as well.

Just thought I'd pass that one along.
