Muskoka Recovery Rehab
Rochon Genova represents former patients of Muskoka Recovery in a proposed class action
Toronto, April 1, 2025: Rochon Genova has commenced a proposed class action against Muskoka Recovery, Detox, Rehab, Addiction, and Mental Health Treatment Centre, their owners, directors, and certain former staff alleging fraudulent misrepresentation, negligence, breach of contract, and other claims against the Defendants. The claim is brought on behalf of:
“All persons who were patients at Muskoka Recovery from its inception to the present (the “Class” and “Class Members”)” and “[a]ll persons who on account of a personal relationship to a Class Member are entitled to assert a derivative claim for damages pursuant to section 61(1) of the Family Law Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.F.3, as amended and comparable provincial and territorial legislation (the “Family Class” or “Family Class Members”)”.
Muskoka Recovery is marketed as a place for luxury “rehabilitation and sober living” providing “the highest level of care, support, and comfort”, including 24/7 medical care, detoxification and addiction treatment under the supervision of qualified professionals.
The proposed class action, filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, alleges that the Defendants have systemically failed to provide Class Members with treatment for their mental health, addiction, and substance use disorders. It is alleged that the Defendants misrepresented the nature of their services, induced Class Members to pay between $20,000 to $150,000 to attend Muskoka Recovery, and exposed the Class Members to an unsafe environment which exacerbated their mental health challenges and caused them harm. It is alleged that certain staff on site were not licensed professionals qualified to provide the treatment they offered, and that, throughout the class period, the Defendants deliberately and systemically misled, lured, financially exploited, abused, and endangered these vulnerable patients seeking treatment at the facility.
The claims have not yet been proven in court. For information about this proposed class action please contact Golnaz Nayerahmadi ([email protected]) or Jessica Marshall ([email protected]) at (416) 363-1867 or 1-866-881-2292.
