..and with Renfrew being far enough away from downtown, what you're going to find there is mostly people just commuting or being driven there, during the day, stone cold sober, for a meeting, then going back to where ever they came from.
You don't typically see hardcore addicts leaving a meeting and then wandering into the community looking for their next high.

I don't know the exact details of it, but I do know that people also go there to stay over night (the same building is also home to the "
Renfrew Recovery Detoxification Centre"), so it's not
just people going to meetings.
That being said, I'm not trying to scare you out of the neighbourhood. I grew up in, and for the most part still live around there. My home is a 15-20 minute walk from AADAC and the only reason I actually know it's there is because someone I know works there. Before that I had no idea it even existed.
