Our Facilities: Reigh Allen Centre

A Member of the HomeBridge Community since 1999.

Owned by the Department of Transportation and Public Works.

Operated by HomeBridge Youth Society.

Located in Dartmouth.

The Reigh Allen Centre is a short-term stabilization and treatment program for youth. The Centre has 14 beds, which are divided into two units, a male unit and a co-educational unit, for youth 12 to18 years of age.

History

The Reigh Allen Centre opened in Dartmouth in January 1999. The clinical team from the Brenton House program (now known as Cogswell House) and the HomeBridge administrative offices were moved to the new location on Pleasant Street.

The Reigh Allen Centre is an emergency-crisis-receiving centre with a maximum length of stay of 6 to 8 weeks. Referrals for admission do not have to be screened through the MAPS (Matching Adolescents with Placement Service) Committee but may be made directly by a child welfare agency. The primary goal for the Reigh Allen Centre youth care team is to stabilize the resident and assist with recommendations for treatment and placement options.
