Addiction recovery

Substance abuse help

We respectfully acknowledge that The Vitanova Foundation is situated in the Territory and Treaty 13 lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Our municipality—the City of Vaughan, is home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people today. As representatives of a registered charity that has been operating in the City of Vaughan since 1987, we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and live in this territory.

Dawn of Hope Women's Treatment Program

Robinson Scholarship App – Vitanova – FILLABLE

A separate program for women only is under development, with a full launch this year. It will be situated in dedicated space on the lower level of the building housing both the chapel and our non-denominational meditation space. This will duplicate our core program, which we have been delivering since 1991, with a focus on the particular needs of women, especially those with minor children.
