About
The 85,000sf recovery centre, River Point Centre, provides a crucial service for urban and rural Manitobans struggling with addictions. MMP developed the new state-of-the-art facility in consultation with the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, the Main Street Project, the Behavioral Health Foundation, the Department of Housing and Community Development, and Manitoba Housing community residents themselves.

River Point Centre includes 30 transitional housing units available to Manitobans from urban and rural areas. These units provide temporary housing for individuals recovering from addiction and need a short-term, supported living environment before returning home.

MMP acted as Prime Consultant to redevelop the 50-year-old Sharon Home into the new centralized addictions centre for Manitoba. The centre has the capacity to accommodate up to 2,000 individuals annually for treatment. It offers a range of services for patients, including non-medical detox, an intensive day program, a treatment readiness program, and structured residential treatment. River Point Centre was built to LEED silver standards and was completed on schedule and budget.
