The Mood, Anxiety, Substance Treatment and Recovery Service program is designed to support the unique needs of mature adults in an environment with peers of comparable age and life experience. Most traditional treatment programs for mental health and addiction exclude individuals with physical comorbidities and cognitive deficits. This program strongly focuses on attaining the highest level of understanding of the illness and improving self-worth, well-being, and independence.
Two key objectives of this program are to: be a centre of excellence for inpatient assessment and treatment for mature adults in the Guelph-Wellington region and throughout Canada; and promote awareness and understanding of the mental health, addiction and concurrent disorder needs of mature adults.
MASTRS Program patients are assessed at intake and discharge using various tools. Based on data in 2022, 89% of patients showed overall improvement.
