St. Patrick’s House is part of a very integrated community case management practice. We accept client referrals from Corrections Canada, the community detox unit, hospital social worker, methadone clinics, alcohol and drug counsellors, aboriginal band counsellors, probation officers, lawyers, family members, friends and self referrals.
