Focus Counselling Services is a non-profit organization (#371) dedicated to providing comprehensive substance use disorder and addiction treatment and support services to our community. Founded in the spring of 1993, our organization was born from the vision of two addiction counsellors Sandra Butterfield and Jerry Griffiths who recognized a significant gap in the existing “helping services” system.

Our journey began in August 1993 with education and training initiatives held at the Salvation Army’s Shelter on North Street in Hamilton for substance users. Over the past three decades, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to supporting individuals in our community in overcoming the challenges of addiction.

We are proud to offer a range of services, including our Sober Living and Residential Treatment Facility. See our services for more information.

Our services are a comprehensive continuum of care, offering treatment options for individuals of all ages and situations struggling with substance use disorder or addiction. We’re here to provide the necessary help and support to guide them towards a healthier, recovery-oriented lifestyle.
