Tailored Recovery for Health Care Professionals

As a doctor, nurse, or paramedic, you’ve seen the very best and worst of life. The constant pressure, long shifts, and repeated exposure to trauma can wear anyone down. Healthcare professionals often face compassion fatigue, burnout, and even moral injury from situations that challenge their core values. We recognize these unique stresses,  trauma, and high-stress environments can take a serious toll on well-being. At Brick House Recovery Centre, we offer a safe, confidential place to heal. Our care is compassionate yet clinical: you’ll receive evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment tailored to your profession.

We treat the whole person, mind, body, and spirit with a holistic approach that integrates therapy, education, nervous system regulation, and peer connection. We understand the culture of healthcare professions and design every element of care with this in mind. Here are the key elements of our program:

Outpatient Detox:

Medically supervised detox in a non-residential setting, allowing clients to remain engaged with family or work.

Secure, remote care options for clients who cannot attend in person. Includes virtual therapy, recovery check-ins, and care coordination.

Aftercare & Relapse Prevention

Ongoing support with a focus on coping skills, resilience, and relapse prevention to help healthcare professionals maintain recovery over time.

All interventions are evidence-based and trauma-informed, designed around the specific culture of healthcare work. We tailor every therapy to your needs, so you gain tools and confidence for long-term resilience. For example, therapies like EMDR are proven to help professionals safely process the emotional impact of crisis events.
