Brad's Place Addiction Treatment of Southern Georgian Bay

About Brad Buckner

In March of 2010 Brad passed away at the age of 25 due to his drug addiction.

Before his passing, Brad reached out for help with his addiction, but the support available was not designed for youth and young adults. In a moment of raw vulnerability, Brad confided, "I can’t discuss my issues in a group of old men that remind me of my father if my father is the root of my issues." His words echo the profound struggle he faced, desperately needing a space where he felt understood and safe.

The Beginning of Brad's Place

In May of 2018, driven by a deep sense of purpose and compassion, 18 like-minded individuals came together to form the board of directors for Brad’s Place. Their shared goal was to create the vital services that were painfully absent when Brad sought help for his addiction.

Brad's Place also embraces the involvement of family members and loved ones in every aspect of the client's care, empowering them with the knowledge and skills to provide unwavering, positive support. This holistic approach ensures that no one has to face their battles alone, creating a community of healing and understanding.
