WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT AT
Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre

OUR APPROACH

Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre

At Journey Recovery and Wellness Centre, we recognize that every individual’s journey to recovery is deeply personal and unique. No two clients face the same challenges, nor do they have the same experiences or needs. With this in mind, we carefully assess each client’s history, struggles, and goals to design a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific circumstances.

By tailoring our approach, we aim to provide a healing environment that respects each individual’s pace, supports their strengths, and guides them through obstacles, ultimately fostering a recovery path that feels both meaningful and achievable. Our goal is to empower clients with the skills and resilience needed for lasting wellness.

OUR FOUNDERS

Yonit & Clive - Wellness Centre
Yonit & Clive

Meet the founders of Journey Recovery & Wellness Centre: Yonit & Clive Blumenthal.

With a wealth of life experience and a deeply personal experience of addiction, Clive’s 18 years of sobriety along with his unique perspective and understanding of addiction & trauma makes it easy for him to get through to his patients and assist them closely on their road to recovery.

Yonit has the first-hand experience of being a wife and mother during Clive’s years in active addiction. This valuable life experience, coupled with her intuition and extensive professional training make her an exceptional counselor.

With their strong desire to help others heal from the pain of addiction, Yonit & Clive founded Journey over a decade ago as a safe place where you can break the shackles of addiction by working through trauma, rediscovering yourself, reconnecting with others, and reawakening your passion for life.
