Trafalgar

What Trafalgar does

Trafalgar Addiction Treatment Centres is a private, Ontario-based for-profit provider of residential and virtual outpatient addiction treatment, founded in 2013 and operating within Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres (CATC). Its clinical offering targets adults (18+) with substance addictions (alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, prescription opioids, fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, ecstasy, inhalants, ketamine), behavioral addictions (gambling, sex, gaming, internet, physical abuse perpetration), and concurrent mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, bipolar, panic). Two core delivery channels are operated in parallel: a residential program offering 42-day or longer inpatient stays at a 13-acre facility in Erin, Ontario west of Toronto, and a virtual intensive outpatient program (4-week or 6-week structured tracks) delivered across all Canadian provinces and territories via a secure, PHIPA/PIPEDA-compliant, end-to-end-encrypted telehealth platform. Supporting modules include medical detox, family communication sessions, family support programming, and a structured Continuation of Care aftercare program (biweekly outreach for 4 months, then monthly for 20 months) supplemented by the proprietary ContinUcare proactive outreach system and alumni events.

The technology stack is anchored by the secure virtual treatment platform and a clinician-led curriculum combining CBT, DBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and relapse-prevention frameworks, with care delivered by Master's-level registered therapists and addiction counselors under the clinical oversight of Senior Clinical Advisor Dr. Christine Courbasson. The organization holds CARF International accreditation (achieved April 26-27, 2021), BBB accreditation, LegitScript verification, PHIPA/PIPEDA compliance, and HST-exempt status under the Excise Tax Act, with treatment qualifying for the medical tax credit under the Income Tax Act.

The business model is fee-for-service private pay rather than government-funded: revenue streams comprise residential program tuition (one-time, 42+ day), virtual outpatient program fees (recurring, 4-6 week programs), third-party insurance reimbursement, and patient-financed payments via Medicard. Because OHIP does not cover treatment, patients fund care through out-of-pocket payment, employer/group insurance (with documentation assistance), or medical financing. Customer acquisition relies on phone-driven direct response (1-855-972-9760), SEO-optimized educational content for each addiction type, webinars hosted by clinical leadership, and a podcast, with the Corporate and Government Referral Program representing an additional institutional channel.
