Vita Novus Addiction Canada John Haines Vita Novus

We had a family member attend this rehab center. We did not know at the time that there was, and still is a Cease & Desist Order against them. We were taken for THOUSAND OF DOLLARS BY THIS CONMAN!

We have spoken with a Lawyer. I am told that as time goes along, more and more people are coming forward and there is a good chance for a Class Action Lawsuit against this Criminal. The Police are looking into Fraud Charges against this Conman.

Also don't forget, not only were the councellours High when dealing with Clients, but there were sleeping with the Clients also. I think everybody has a pretty good idea about John Haines now.

http://www.cottagecountrynow.ca/news/article/1606819–pickerel-lake-zoning-could-see-compromise

Mary Beth Hartill |Apr 18, 2013

BURK’S FALLS – Yes, no or compromise are the three options Township of Armour council will look at when it comes to a wellness centre operating on Pickerel Lake.

An open house public meeting was held on April 13 at the Karl Crozier Community Centre in Burk’s Falls to discuss the zoning decision under consideration by the council for the Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre.

“It appears to me right now there are three choices, ” said Reeve Bob MacPhail. “The first two choices are cut and dried. The council could just say no. The other sort of black and white is yes.”

In the province of Ontario, there are no regulations for recovery facilities such as the one currently operating at the site of the former Pickerel Lake Lodge.

“If we just said a flat yes it means the council really has no control over it so it may not be an option, ” said MacPhail. “The other option is what I call the compromise option between the yes and the no.”

Under the Municipal Act a municipality can set up its own licensing system so they could agree to grant the zoning, however still impose rules and restrictions.

“We could have a license that says the maximum number of clients that could be there, ” said MacPhail. “We could license the minimum number of staff that we have there.”

Township planner Robert Miller says the effect on the local ratepayers is the prime impact the municipality has to consider.

“The Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre, under a numbered corporation, purchased Pickerel Lake Lodge and established itself under the misapprehension that all it needed for approvals was a building permit, ” he said. “That assumption turned out to be false.”

It was about year later when the Recovery Centre owners applied, after opening, for changes to the zoning and Official Plan.

The applications were filed in November of 2012 and Wayne Simpson of Wayne Simpson and Associates, planner for the applicant, says amendments being sought to the Official Plan and zoning bylaw would accommodate the addiction recovery centre at the location.

There was a concern raised about the legality of the operation after the facility had been ordered to cease operations by the Township for believing that the operations are in contravention of the zoning bylaw. The issue was taken to the Superior Court, however, that case has been put on hold with council deciding to deal with the planning issues as quickly as possible.

Simpson says that although the facility provides non-medical and non-drug services.

“We want to differentiate this facility from other facilities where there is medical care, where there may be care provided by doctors, clinicians and people administering drugs. What might come to mind is a detoxification centre, for example, ” he said. “This facility started off with those types of activities occurring at the facility but during the first six to eight months the facility was reshaped and redefined.”

Those functions were moved off site and those employed to deliver those medical services are no longer at the site. There is a facility in Newmarket associated with the Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre providing medical treatment.

“A recovery centre is not a defined use and is not a permitted use in the zoning, ” said Miller. “This is not an application to develop something, it is an application to define and validate something that is already established.”

There are 156 acres of land but the changes would be applicable to only the front 10 acres, which includes the existing buildings.

A proposed amendment to the Official Plan to allow a portion of the applicant’s property to be defined as “an addiction recovery centre which means a commercial use where, for those struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol, wellness is promoted through the intensive delivery of a comprehensive range of non-medical and non-drug services, including spiritual, social, recreational, nutritional and educational programs that are customized to meet the particular needs of individual guests.”

“This will be a place where individuals will go to escape their daily life routines … it’s important for some of these people who are at this facility to get away from their daily routines, to get into an environment that doesn’t trigger their addiction, ” said Simpson.

Miller says with the compromise option, the license would keep a lot of the control in the hands of the Township.

A decision must also be reached without what was referred to as ‘people planning’ that could contravene the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including prohibiting individuals with afflictions.

“If this is the nature of your complaint you should put your mind to this because that type of complaint is not available to you … it’s a recovery centre, ” said Miller.

Miller also asked members to public to consider the common good.

“There are over 35, 000 people in Ontario being treated for addictions to prescription narcotics. Alcohol is another problem, ” he said. “… there is a need for many, many people to be treated for these addictions.”

Miller says the questions remains whether the residents on Pickerel Lake recognize the common good and the need for a treatment centre in the area.

Simpson noted that as part of the Armour’s Official Plan there is a goal for a wider commercial and assessment base and more employment opportunities.

“These are permanent year round positions, not seasonal, ” he said. “These employees will also involve a higher degree of education and higher salary and will be spending here and everything that goes along with that.”

He notes the facility promotes the health of Ontarians and the environment and the lodge will be as environmentally sound as previous uses.

“People can be assured that what takes place at the centre will exist within the regulations, ” said Simpson. “The centre will be fully under control of the municipality under the municipal Official Plan and the bylaw.”

“The other question is, is the old Pickerel Lake Lodge a suitable location for a licensed and inspected drug recovery centre if one considers the common good if it is properly regulated and properly controlled, ” said Miller. “We need to think of both sides.”

There will be a statutory public meeting slated at a future date, likely during the summer, and council will deliberate after that time.

MacPhail says that regardless of council’s decision the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will make the final decision.

“There is a final step, which nobody hopes we ever get to, if someone is not happy with the final decision made by Municipal Affairs then they can appeal it and it goes to the Ontario Municipal Board, ” he said.

Also notice the “great review” John Haines gave himself at: http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc – Does anyone notice that “Flexman” is the Author of both http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc and http://www.canadiandrugrehabcentres.com/residential-treatment-centres/Ontario-residential-treatment-centres/Vita-Novus-Recovery-Center-L485/ - I know, must be a coincidence, right John?

Also, please go to: https://www.prbuzz.com/health-a-fitness/89023-vita-novus-treatment-center.html

Notice the Vita Novus Review link on this and many other adds by john haines. When you click the “Reviews” it just goes back to their website. Funny thing is when you Google Vita Novus Complaints, well, there is a lot out there.

Again, this man is still running his Scams. He is Operating Illegally in Aurora and Newmarket also. He said this location is the Head Office for Out Reach.

The REALITY IS THEY HAVE BEEN DISPENSING MEDICATION AT THE AURORA AND NEWMARKET LOCATIONS. Did you get a Cease and Desist from them yet John?

Hey how is the CARF stuff going? The answer, IT'S NOT GOING!

http://www.cottagecountrynow.ca/news/article/1606819–pickerel-lake-zoning-could-see-compromise

Mary Beth Hartill |Apr 18, 2013

BURK’S FALLS – Yes, no or compromise are the three options Township of Armour council will look at when it comes to a wellness centre operating on Pickerel Lake.

An open house public meeting was held on April 13 at the Karl Crozier Community Centre in Burk’s Falls to discuss the zoning decision under consideration by the council for the Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre.

“It appears to me right now there are three choices, ” said Reeve Bob MacPhail. “The first two choices are cut and dried. The council could just say no. The other sort of black and white is yes.”

In the province of Ontario, there are no regulations for recovery facilities such as the one currently operating at the site of the former Pickerel Lake Lodge.

“If we just said a flat yes it means the council really has no control over it so it may not be an option, ” said MacPhail. “The other option is what I call the compromise option between the yes and the no.”

Under the Municipal Act a municipality can set up its own licensing system so they could agree to grant the zoning, however still impose rules and restrictions.

“We could have a license that says the maximum number of clients that could be there, ” said MacPhail. “We could license the minimum number of staff that we have there.”

Township planner Robert Miller says the effect on the local ratepayers is the prime impact the municipality has to consider.

“The Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre, under a numbered corporation, purchased Pickerel Lake Lodge and established itself under the misapprehension that all it needed for approvals was a building permit, ” he said. “That assumption turned out to be false.”

It was about year later when the Recovery Centre owners applied, after opening, for changes to the zoning and Official Plan.

The applications were filed in November of 2012 and Wayne Simpson of Wayne Simpson and Associates, planner for the applicant, says amendments being sought to the Official Plan and zoning bylaw would accommodate the addiction recovery centre at the location.

There was a concern raised about the legality of the operation after the facility had been ordered to cease operations by the Township for believing that the operations are in contravention of the zoning bylaw. The issue was taken to the Superior Court, however, that case has been put on hold with council deciding to deal with the planning issues as quickly as possible.

Simpson says that although the facility provides non-medical and non-drug services.

“We want to differentiate this facility from other facilities where there is medical care, where there may be care provided by doctors, clinicians and people administering drugs. What might come to mind is a detoxification centre, for example, ” he said. “This facility started off with those types of activities occurring at the facility but during the first six to eight months the facility was reshaped and redefined.”

Those functions were moved off site and those employed to deliver those medical services are no longer at the site. There is a facility in Newmarket associated with the Pickerel Lake Recovery Centre providing medical treatment.

“A recovery centre is not a defined use and is not a permitted use in the zoning, ” said Miller. “This is not an application to develop something, it is an application to define and validate something that is already established.”

There are 156 acres of land but the changes would be applicable to only the front 10 acres, which includes the existing buildings.

A proposed amendment to the Official Plan to allow a portion of the applicant’s property to be defined as “an addiction recovery centre which means a commercial use where, for those struggling with addiction to drugs or alcohol, wellness is promoted through the intensive delivery of a comprehensive range of non-medical and non-drug services, including spiritual, social, recreational, nutritional and educational programs that are customized to meet the particular needs of individual guests.”

“This will be a place where individuals will go to escape their daily life routines … it’s important for some of these people who are at this facility to get away from their daily routines, to get into an environment that doesn’t trigger their addiction, ” said Simpson.

Miller says with the compromise option, the license would keep a lot of the control in the hands of the Township.

A decision must also be reached without what was referred to as ‘people planning’ that could contravene the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, including prohibiting individuals with afflictions.

“If this is the nature of your complaint you should put your mind to this because that type of complaint is not available to you … it’s a recovery centre, ” said Miller.

Miller also asked members to public to consider the common good.

“There are over 35, 000 people in Ontario being treated for addictions to prescription narcotics. Alcohol is another problem, ” he said. “… there is a need for many, many people to be treated for these addictions.”

Miller says the questions remains whether the residents on Pickerel Lake recognize the common good and the need for a treatment centre in the area.

Simpson noted that as part of the Armour’s Official Plan there is a goal for a wider commercial and assessment base and more employment opportunities.

“These are permanent year round positions, not seasonal, ” he said. “These employees will also involve a higher degree of education and higher salary and will be spending here and everything that goes along with that.”

He notes the facility promotes the health of Ontarians and the environment and the lodge will be as environmentally sound as previous uses.

“People can be assured that what takes place at the centre will exist within the regulations, ” said Simpson. “The centre will be fully under control of the municipality under the municipal Official Plan and the bylaw.”

“The other question is, is the old Pickerel Lake Lodge a suitable location for a licensed and inspected drug recovery centre if one considers the common good if it is properly regulated and properly controlled, ” said Miller. “We need to think of both sides.”

There will be a statutory public meeting slated at a future date, likely during the summer, and council will deliberate after that time.

MacPhail says that regardless of council’s decision the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will make the final decision.

“There is a final step, which nobody hopes we ever get to, if someone is not happy with the final decision made by Municipal Affairs then they can appeal it and it goes to the Ontario Municipal Board, ” he said.

What a horrible ordeal i have gone through with these people...i put my son in here thinking i was helping him, he never stood a chance at sobriety it was all about money and connie the so called interventionist put so much pressure on me made me feel like a bad mom if i did not send him there. boy do we have a story to share I am currently in the process of suing i am not afraid of you John Haines you should be ashamed of yourself. If anyone is interested in joining me in a class action law suit lets shut this place down once and for all and stop him from ruining more lives. The more people have a factual story to share the better. I know from what we as a family are dealing with is direct cause of my son being there, he came out a million times worse than he went in. and when he relapsed he was told he was allowed to go back FREE OF CHARGE...not the case CONNIE wanted an additional 5000 dollars for the DETOX... you would have thought i would have gotten at least one phone call to find out how my son was after i told her he relapsed after all she is suppose to be a CARING person...please please do not send any one to this hell or any other facility run by him. ...please join me in a law suit for these two people and if you have ever worked for any of his facilities is you have a shred on integrity and know of wrong or illegal activity help these poor people who went there to try and make there lives better as was promised to them...one concerend and loving mother

Nothing has changed! John Haines is still being taken to Court for the Illegal Operation of Pickerel Lake Recover Center which changed to Muskoka Recovery Center which John Haines now is advertising as Vita Novus. He is stalling going to Court according to the Town of Armour. But don't worry John, the Town and Local Residents are going to Give You Your Day in Court!

Be advised, HE STILL HAS A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. WHICH HE IS IGNORING!

I spoke with CARF this week. Vita Novus/Addiction Canada Treatment Network or any of John Haines Illegal Rehab Operations are Not Registered or Accredited by them as John Haines Claims. Call the above number and speak with Judy or June. Also notice the “great review” John Haines gave himself at: http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc – Does anyone notice that “Flexman” is the Author of both http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc and https://www.naatp.org/facility/vita-novus-inc/ - I know, must be a coincidence, right John? Wow, saying you are LICENSED BY CARF WHEN YOU ARE NOT? I'm surprised that you would tell a lie John, Shocking!

Also, please go to: https://www.prbuzz.com/health-a-fitness/89023-vita-novus-treatment-center.html

Notice the Vita Novus Review link on this and many other adds by john haines. When you click the “Reviews” it just goes back to their website. Funny thing is when you Google Vita Novus Complaints, well, there is a lot out there.

Former Employee Says Sorry Pickerel Lake Recovery
I will make this brief. As a former employee, yes, there was a sexual assault that happened at pickerel lake recovery. It happened around the middle of december of last year. Ralph, I think he is chinese, was caught putting his hands down the pants of a female client who was out cold in detox.

I had to report this because I know it was wrong. John did hide what happened. There is a lot of other things going on at this place that people should know about. The police know everything and I told them the names of all staff who know about this and did not report it. Which is everyone.

I was told they are looking to speak with all staff and they are not interested in charging staff unless they lie or lied about about sexual assault. I am not protecting you anymore john. You should have never put us in this position as your employees. You, should have reported this to the police.

I am sorry it took me this long to come forward. I am also very, very sorry to the client who went through this.

I just found out recently that John Haines was previously Charged with committing a Sexual Assault. It's on his record along with many other charges such as, Drug Dealing, He's Back to shoving Coke up his nose, drinking and Driving bans, Impersonating a Lawyer..., it goes on and on. Yes, he is a Convicted Sexual Molester! This certainly explains why he let the Sexual Assault go on at Pickerel Lake Recovery/Muskoka Recovery Center in Burks Falls. Who knows, maybe he took part in it. Would't surprise me at all!

John Haines the [censored]er doesn't fully realize just what's been happening in the last month or so. Several Former Employees from his Illegal Rehab Center have come forward with the information about the Sexual Assault that occurred on a Past Out Female Patient. John, you and your Molester Friend, the one you let go without calling the police will both be in Jail soon!

Vita Novus Addiction Canada Neglect & False Advertising

I commented on this earlier; this is a follow-up.

I attended an alumni meeting recently and happened to mention these blogs. (My alumni consist of RNs. I am a retired psychiatric nurse). The subject drew interest among some of my colleagues as some of us, earlier in our careers, had worked in a treatment/recovery centre. So a couple of us decided this warranted further research which revealed that these bloggers were not only playing a guessing game but obviously had conjured up these stories and formed their own vindictive conclusions to retaliate because of their own misgivings. In other words, get your facts straight folks before making such stupid, false accusations! You need to look at your own lives and see why you went wrong. Firstly, if you’re not an ex employee, then perhaps you are one who was in recovery and should continue with follow-up? Otherwise, why these vindictive remarks? Let’s clarify some things here: (listen up) Let it be known that Vita Novus has never reneged on any payments whatsoever; the allegations made on this board are completely false! Got it? As a matter of fact and for your information, the first location was on a ‘lease-to-own’ basis in which legitimate monthly payments were being made to the vendor. The second location was purchased (because there was a need for expansion) by another vendor. This vendor purchased the first location for his own abode. This location was also on a ‘lease-to-own’ basis where legitimate monthly payments were continuously met but the final sale didn’t close due to the greedy vendor wanting more, thus taking back his offer. In July 2010 there was a huge deposit made (was never defaulted) and once again, the premises DID NOT close due to any ‘default payments’ whatsoever (the vendor kept the money, close to $500, 000) but he will not get off that easy as this continues to be part of ongoing court proceedings! So, contrary to those false accusations made here (none of which were ever substantiated), Vita Novus NEVER left due to an eviction notice, but rather, moved to a bigger and better facility under the name of Lotus, which, by the way, is a program offered by Vita Novus! Again, get your facts straight!

If you had all done your homework (research), you might have thought twice about your blogs ... but then again, maybe not! Bloggers like yourself are so vindictive that you’ll stop at nothing in your attempts to degrade someone, anyone! All those other comments made on this board were obviously done by the same disgruntled employees and/or patients who continue to be in denial by blatantly refusing to complete any program or seek further help offered by these programs! Yes, true that AA offers some support but for the most part, these patients need much more. These serious cases cannot be cured by AA alone. Having another drink or another ‘fix’ will only further your own lack of anger management (maybe another area you need help in?). Oh yes, IP identification reveals that these comments have been made by a handful of the same disgruntled people posting over and over again! People like you who try to damage the reputation of their selected victim, turn others against him and his facility and then post false information about him on websites. I’m sure that others have been stalked, harassed, defamed, or flamed by vindictive narcissists like you. Furthermore, research has shown that the person you (& others) are slandering, has never himself denied being in recovery and you all undoubtedly know that! That information has always been made known both on his website and to all prospective clients. I would venture to bet that many of you (the accusers) have been through the courts yourselves and know what we speak of here! I would think from a healing standpoint, that being in recovery would serve as an ideal person to assist others who desperately seek help (like giving back to the community).

Oh and incidentally, staff turnover was necessary mainly because some were neither qualified nor good enough to help others or they didn’t have the passion required for the position. Consequently, they were replaced and the complainers you see here are venting because they were fired! So bottom line is, from what I understand, all 9 pages of what you see here will soon be removed by a court order already in process. Cowards who slander anyone (for that matter) never acknowledge their identity so obviously they are in denial themselves, hiding behind their computers. Oh and you know with certainty that John is an unethical lying criminal? That is definitely ‘slander’! In addition you have not only publicly mentioned him by name but have gone on to mention his home address! I’m sure you know that from a legal point of view, this would be considered an invasion of privacy and once again, ‘slander’. Do you really think that you can’t be identified by your IP address? Think again; you can easily be traced even though you hide behind your false identities and locations! It’s quite obvious by various comments made on this board that you appear to be the same people complaining over and over again, simply changing your handles etc. Do you really think you’re undermining someone’s intelligence here? Let’s face it, all of you know that what I’ve stated is true but obviously you haven’t thought about your own persona lately (or probably ever)... SO my advice to you is this: Go have another drink (or whatever) and take a good long look in the mirror and don’t forget your own transgressions! It‘s certainly plain to see by various comments that YOU the accusers have a huge problem to deal with! Oh yes, and research has also shown that there are many recovered and satisfied Vita Novus patients out there who continue to work their programs and are leading normal productive lives!

PLEASE GOOGLE THE WORDS, JOHN HAINES, SEXUAL ASSAULT, MUSKOKA RECOVERY, PICKEREL LAKE RECOVERY, VITA NOVUS, CEASE AND DESIST ORDERS, COURT DATE, ADDICTION CANADA TREATMENT NETWORK, DRUG DEALER, IMPERSONATING A LAWYER. SAME GUY, JOHN HAINES, SAME SCAM!

Reposted from: http://www.reviewstalk.com/complaints-reviews/pickerel-lake-lodge-recovery-l114/page/14

Court Date for John Haines: The meeting on Tuesday at Armourtownship was informative. John Haines is Stalling Again, so looks like the December Court Date is put off again. The paper work he did submit to the Town, well, it’s a joke. So, John Haines will continue to operate Illegally for now. We did talk about the name change to Vita Novus, and Addiction Canada Treatment Network.

*** So, John Haines has opened shop again in York Region, Aurora, Newmarket area. The newer Illegal Rehab Centers are called, Addiction Canada Treatment Network and Vita Novus. He is referring to Pickerel Lake Recovery and Muskoka Recovery as Vita Novus now also. The Rehab Center’s down in Aurora are operating ILLEGALLY. Don’t forget How it Work’s Recovery, also, OPERATING ILLEGALLY!

He tells everyone that they do not dispense Drugs/Medication, but they do. Again, Everyone, you have to call the Town of Aurora and Newmarket and let them know what he is doing and although they know, tell them all about his legal issues going on with Armourtownship, and the ‘THOUSANDS” HE OWES IN BILLS TO CONTRACTORS, ETC…,

I understand Revenue Canada would like to speak to Former Clients, Contractors, etc…, about John Haines and his ILLEGAL OPERATIONS and the Six Million Dollars that he told Ted Jackson in Treatment Magazine that he has made. ALL HIS CURRENT OPERATIONS ARE ILLEGAL. I know, you are just trying to help people with addictions, right John?

How about you are a Scam Artist, a Thief, and John, you are a Low Life. The Scum of the Earth! More Name Changes for your ILLEGAL OPERATIONS, Wow!

Hey John, How’s the CARF stuff going. Everyone here is still waiting for you to Post the information. Google Addiction Canada Treatment Network and Vita Novus, Kijiji. Yes, he is saying that his Illegal Rehab Center’s are being certified by CARF in he add. Really John? So Everyone, make sure to call CARF and let them know about John Haines and his Adds making Claims of being Certified by them!

As someone said before, the first thing CARF will tell you Mr. BidLaw, is to get Zoned Properly with All your Current Illegal Operations, To pay your bills there Joe, P Eye. You are a Joke Man!

http://www.armourtownship.ca/pdf/december11_2012.pdf
Minutes from December 11/2012 – I see Gail Smith from Newmarket, John’s buddy and PR Lady was present at the meeting. When you Knowingly work for a Crook…, A Scam Artist, well Gail, you go Go Girl!

APPLICATIONS:
- Application for Official Plan Amendment, 2293398 Ont. Inc. Pickerel Lake Treatment Centre was deemed incomplete and the Municipal Planner and council have requested further clarification on the lands subject to the application.

- Application for Zoning By-law Amendment, 2293398 Ont. Inc. Pickerel Lake Treatment Centre was deemed incomplete and the Municipal Planner and council have requested further clarification on the lands subject to the application.

Vita Novus Addiction Canada False Complaints

Curious Indeed and the rest of you ... I posted something on another Vita Novus Complaint site, so listen up before making futher fools of yourselves!

I attended an alumni meeting this past week and happened to mention these blogs. (My alumni consist of RNs. I am a retired psychiatric nurse). The subject drew interest among some of my colleagues as some of us, earlier in our careers, had worked in a treatment/recovery centre. So a couple of us decided this warranted further research which revealed that these bloggers were not only playing a guessing game but obviously had conjured up these stories and formed their own vindictive conclusions.

All those other comments made on this board were obviously done by the same disgruntled employees and/or patients who continue to be in denial by blatantly refusing to complete any program or seek further help offered by these programs! Yes, true that AA offers some support but for the most part, these patients need much more. These serious cases cannot be cured by AA alone.

Oh yes, IP identification reveals that these comments have been made by a handful of the same disgruntled people posting over and over again! People like you who try to damage the reputation of their victim, turn other people against him and his facility and then post false information about him on websites. I’m sure that others have been stalked, harassed, defamed, or flamed by vindictive narcissists like you. Furthermore, research has shown that the person you (& others) are slandering, has never himself denied being in recovery and you all undoubtedly know that! That information has always been made known both on his website and to all prospective clients. I would venture to bet that many of you (the accusers) have been through the courts yourselves and know what we speak of here! I would think from a healing standpoint, that being in recovery would serve as an ideal person to assist others who desperately seek help (like giving back to the community).

Oh and incidentally, further research shows that staff turnover was necessary mainly because some were neither qualified nor good enough to help others or they didn’t have the passion required for the position. Consequently, they were replaced and the complainers you see here are venting because they were fired! So bottom line is, from what I understand, all 9 pages of what you see here (& elsewhere) will soon be removed by a court order, already in process. Cowards who slander John or anyone else (for that matter) never acknowledge their identity so obviously they are in denial themselves, hiding behind their computers. Oh and you know with certainty that John is an unethical lying criminal? That is definitely ‘slander’! In addition you have not only publicly mentioned him by name but have gone on to mention his home address! I’m sure you know that from a legal point of view, this would be considered an invasion of privacy and once again, ‘slander’. Do you really think that you can’t be identified by your IP address? Think again; you can easily be traced even though you hide behind your false identities and locations! It’s quite obvious by various comments made on this board that you appear to be the same people complaining over and over again, simply changing your handles etc. Do you really think you’re undermining someone’s intelligence here? Let’s face it, all of you know that what I’ve stated is true but obviously you haven’t thought about your own persona lately (or probably ever)... SO my advice to you is this: Go have another drink (or whatever) and take a good long look in the mirror and don’t forget your own transgressions! It‘s certainly plain to see by various comments that YOU the accusers have a huge problem to deal with! Oh yes, and research has also shown that there are many recovered and satisfied Vita Novus patients out there who continue to work their programs and are leading normal productive lives! How about the lot of you?

Vita Novus Addiction Canada Non Validity!

Are we disgruntled again/still? Although I commented earlier, I see more people have come forth (perhaps under disguise) due to lack of integrity and knowledge! Further to my previous comments, I decided today to look into this facility. I am now thoroughly convinced that those lodging such complaints need help badly themselves and the only way to satisfy their own misgivings is to bash someone else's character. In my profession, I learned long ago that anyone who has experienced a life of substance can certainly offer help to those in need. Don't ever underestimate someone's knowledge because of your lack thereof!

As explained earlier, I cannot believe, for the life of me, or comprehend the validity of these complaints! Am I reading the ramblings of a disgruntled employee or someone who did not complete the program because he or she felt they could go it alone or knew better? I venture to think this is the case. I admire anyone who can help others recover. I also admire anyone who fulfills his/her obligation as an abuser of substance or alcohol, anyone who enrols in such a program. It’s a first step. Yes, there are wonderful programs such as the ones offered by this facility but folks, it takes you as an individual to first want the help and secondly to continue to help yourself with ongoing treatment, self control, attend your AA meetings etc. I am a retired psychiatric nurse and have dealt with various people who suffered terribly for years from substance abuse; some never made it through. Instead they chose to end it! We all know that abuse by substance, be it alcohol or drugs is a disease and will not cure by itself! Folks, I don’t believe for one minute what I have read here. These complaints are childish and nothing short of those being lodged by someone suffering from psychological narcissism!

I attended an alumni meeting this past week and I happened to mention this Complaint Board and its contents. The subject drew interest among some of my colleagues as some of us, earlier in our careers, had worked in a similar treatment/recovery centre. So a couple of us decided this warranted further research which revealed that these bloggers were not only playing a guessing game but obviously formed their own conclusions from a vindictive stand-point. In other words, get your facts straight folks before making such idiotic and false accusations!

Firstly, if you’re not an ex employee, then perhaps you are one who was in recovery? Otherwise, why the vindictive remarks? Let’s clarify some things here: Let it be known that Vita Novus has never reneged on any payments whatsoever; the allegations made on this board are completely false! Got it? As a matter of fact and for your information, the first location was on a ‘lease-to-own’ basis in which legitimate monthly payments were being made to the vendor. The second location was purchased by another vendor (who purchased the first location for his own abode) simply because there was a need for expansion. This location was also on a ‘lease-to-own’ basis where legitimate monthly payments were continuously met but didn’t close due to the greedy vendor wanting more, thus taking back his offer. In July 2010 there was a huge deposit made (was never defaulted) and once again, the premises DID NOT close due to any ‘default payments’ whatsoever (the vendor kept the money, close to $500, 000) but he will not get off that easy as this continues to be part of ongoing court proceedings! So, contrary to those false accusations made here (none of which were ever substantiated), Vita Novus NEVER left due to an eviction notice, but rather, moved to a bigger and better facility under the name of Lotus, which, by the way, is a program offered by Vita Novus!
If you had all done your homework (research), you might have thought twice about your blogs but then again, maybe not! Bloggers like yourself are so vindictive that you’ll stop at nothing in your attempts to degrade someone.

Nothing has changed! John Haines is still being taken to Court for the Illegal Operation of Pickerel Lake Recover Center which changed to Muskoka Recovery Center which John Haines now is advertising as Vita Novus. He is stalling going to Court according to the Town of Armour. But don't worry John, the Town and Local Residents are going to Give You Your Day in Court!

Be advised, HE STILL HAS A CEASE AND DESIST ORDER TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. WHICH HE IS IGNORING!

I spoke with CARF this week. Vita Novus/Addiction Canada Treatment Network or any of John Haines Illegal Rehab Operations are Not Registered or Accredited by them as John Haines Claims. Call the above number and speak with Judy or June. Also notice the “great review” John Haines gave himself at: http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc – Does anyone notice that “Flexman” is the Author of both http://www.weblocal.ca/user/2vntzkc and https://www.naatp.org/facility/vita-novus-inc/ - I know, must be a coincidence, right John? Wow, saying you are LICENSED BY CARF WHEN YOU ARE NOT? I'm surprised that you would tell a lie John, Shocking!

Also, please go to: https://www.prbuzz.com/health-a-fitness/89023-vita-novus-treatment-center.html

Notice the Vita Novus Review link on this and many other adds by john haines. When you click the “Reviews” it just goes back to their website. Funny thing is when you Google Vita Novus Complaints, well, there is a lot out there.

(Just a Sample)
https://www.google.ca/#hl=en&tbo=d&sclient=psy-ab&q=vita+novus+recovery+center+complaints&oq=vita+novus+recovery+center+complaints&gs_l=serp.12...0.0.2.22152.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.ing6eNNL1qo&pbx=1&bav=on.2, or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=ad58aa7848033ec4&biw=1270&bih=641

Again, this man is still running his Scams. He is Operating Illegally in Aurora and Newmarket also. They have been contacted. Did you get a Cease and Desist from them yet John?

Hey how is the CARF stuff going? The answer, IT'S NOT GOING. THIS IS CALLED FALSE ADVERTISING JOHN!

SO AGAIN, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

SEXUAL ASSAULT AT PICKEREL LAKE RECOVERY/MUSKOKA RECOVERY CENTER
http://blog.canadiandrugrehabcentres.com/2011/12/16/welcome-to-pickerel-lake-recovery-center/#comment-152

Reposted from the above website. This man is a Criminal. Now we find out he Covered Up a Sexual Assault on one of his so called Clients. See Below.

sexualassaultatpickerellake says:
September 15, 2012 at 5:35 aM

Lets start this off by stating some facts: A Male Nurse was caught at Pickerel Lake Recovery/Muskoka Recovery Center ” Inappropriately Touching” a ‘Client’ who was PASSED OUT in Detox. How did John and his Wife Linda respond to this – Well, They quietly let the ‘Sexual Predator’ go on his way, probably to Assault someone else, his next Rehab Victim.

Did they call the Police as they are Duty Bound to do? Did they call the Police to protect their Client who they care so much about? NO, THEY DID NOT! They Covered Up a SEXUAL ASSAULT. The Police will find out when they Investigate if there was more than just ‘Touching’ an Unconscious Victim, or as John calls them, his Clients.

John and Linda, You are both F****n Pigs. You Covered Up a Sexual Assault. Wow! You let this happen to another Female Linda, just turned a Blind Eye? Are you proud of yourself? What was your Refund Policy with this Client John who was Sexually Assaulted when She was Passed Out?

As for the Employees of Pickerel Lake Recovery/Muskoka Recovery Center who knew about this and Did Not Report it to the Police, You are just as Guilty! You too Covered Up a Sexual Assault.

I will let John respond. Lots more information coming after John Haines responds to this. To the Employees of this Illegal Rehab Center, probably a really good idea to get on the Phone and speak with the Police like maybe NOW.

What, you think John is going to lie for all of you. It is a Criminal Offense Not to Report a Crime that you knew about. In this case the Crime was a Sexual Assault on an Unconscious Female Victim at Your Illegal Rehab Center, and You All Knew About it. I’m waiting John….,

Please visit the blog below. John Haines caught in one of his Many, Many Lies. Opps, you should have kept your Mouth Shut John. Have you ever heard of the saying, You are your worst enemy? I think it applies here. As you find out when you read the blog below, John Haines goes online tells everybody he took Armourtownship in Burk's Falls (where he operates his ILLEGAL REHAB CENTERS) to Court and Won.

He actually said that the Town was not being Truthful. Well, as we all found out, that was another one of his many, many lies and surprise, surprise, John Haines was the one telling Lies Again. Well, how did that lie work out for you john? I would love nothing better than to be able to go before a Judge and tell him about you, your Congames, all about the people you have Ripped Off, and on and on it goes! Come and arrest me!

This man OWES A LOT OF PEOPLE MONEY. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. HE’S NOTHING MORE THAN A CONMAN. HOW MAY REHAB CENTER’S DO YOU NEED TO OPERATE BEFORE YOU GET IT RIGHT. OH, WAIT A SECOND, THE INTENTION WAS NEVER TO OPERATE A REHAB CENTER PROPERLY, BUT SIMPLY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY! THIS IS JOHN’S BUSINESS PLAN WHEN IT COMES TO HIS OPERATIONS.

THIS MESSAGE NEEDS TO GET OUT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE MEDIA, HEALTH CANADA, YOUR LOCAL MP’S, ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE SCAM ARTIST, JOHN HAINES.

THE ADMIN ON THIS SITE HAS GIVEN PICKEREL LAKE AMPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO ‘BRING US ALL UP TO SPEED’ WITH ALL THAT’S GOING ON WITH YOUR ILLEGAL OPERATION. YOU HAVEN’T SAID MUCH JOHN? PLEASE TELL US ALL HOW YOU ARE A GREAT GUY HELPING THOSE WITH ADDICTIONS.

This Post is from the Above Website
by Vitaisajoke12345

John really you wanna call me a coward? You know who i am and are praying i stop. You realize the manage of Vita at the time Matt after I was there for 4 weeks offered me my DOC oxys. Why would he do that? Oh wait a few days later he offered me more for sex. Then for a steady supply and prove my loyalty to him i had to get his name tattooed on my arm. I left all my things behind and ran out of the tattoo shop crying! This didn't tell you anything? This continued as we became a couple as a drug addict will do what ever it takes to get there DOC. I had nothing! No one! No money! Then you said as a management decision Matt could no longer be manager. Ppl were talking. What do you do but get Matt and myself to do interventions. We were a mess. I went to you for help and I left vita in a worse state then I arrived! I'm still with Matt we been threw a lot together and he is getting help with me now and i am getting my son back. I'm gonna do it this time, no thanks to you and your center. I came there a mess and lost. Your fix was suboxone. You send ppl away with a substitute drug, that is not readily available in small rural places. Thats just great! I was lead down a worse road and used and had to pay 20k for it. Do I blame you totally no I don't. I will say at your center you will get what you put into it and at the time i guess i wasn't strong enough. I learned a lot there, however no one there at Vita was qualified to do anything many where clean less than 2 years some only one. As you say the first two years you are in treatment still and it's the toughest. The big prob with vita was there is zero professionalism and zero education there! I was using and you hired me! You say I won't say who I am, John you know me and Matt well...and I could careless I can tell my story to anyone. Anyone wanna talk to me call me i can talk to anyone about drugs, first you lose your friends, then you lose your job, then you lose your stuff, then you lose your family, then its rehab or death! It's my life it happened to me. I'm here I survived it all and am getting my son back. Before you reply John I want you to think very carefully about what you write as I SPEAK WHOLE TRUTHS. Don't call matt! If you wanna step to me you better step correct. In rehab it's time for real people and I'm sorry John but your 5 mins are up!

Good Morning to All. Yes, Karma has a way of catching up with you. A lot more will be coming out in the next little while about John Haines. This is a Post From Another Site. Thank you 'Concerned Citizen' for posting this. Please go to this website http://www.armourtownship.ca/pdf/may8_2012.pdf This will take you to the May, 8, 2012 Armour Township Council Meeting and See For Yourself what was discussed. Surprise, surprise, it's not what John Haines is saying.

The Minutes of Last Weeks Armour Township Meeting say the Town is in LEGAL PROCEEDINGS with the Owner and Pickerel Lake Rehab for Non -Compliance. I thought this was resolved John? So you say you had an open house, but the Minutes of Last weeks meeting say different. Armour Township nor any of it's Council Members have EVER been to Pickerel Lake Rehab. I guess that means you might be telling a LITTLE FIB, right John?. Of Course you are not going to respond. The Township Minutes must
be lying, eh Johnny Boy? 20 more Petitions of concerns from local residences/business where given to the Town at last weeks meeting as per the Minutes.

What we need to ask is how a Criminal like you is running a Rehab Center. Oh, wait a second, this is the perfect
Con for a Ripoff Artist because the Industry is NOT REGULATED. This is why families need to start calling their
local MP/MPP's, Health Canada, and Again Armour Township and share your experiences about this Place and

Vita Novus Addiction Canada Utterly Ridiculous!

I shall reiterate what I commented about yesterday. It’s quite obvious that there were many satisfied clients out there who attended at this facility and have gone on to lead productive lives by continuing to work their program etc. No, I did not have anything to do with this particular facility but my comments here will justify what I feel has transpired:

I cannot believe, for the life of me, or comprehend the validity of these complaints! Am I reading the ramblings of a disgruntled employee or someone who did not complete the program because he or she felt they could go it alone or knew better? I admire anyone who would help people recover. I also admire anyone who fulfills his/her obligation as an abuser of substance or alcohol, anyone who enrols in such a program. It’s a first step. Yes, there are wonderful programs such as the ones offered by this facility but folks, it takes you as an individual to first want the help and secondly to continue to help yourself with ongoing treatment, self control, after care, attend your AA meetings etc. I am a retired psychiatric nurse and have dealt with various people who suffered terribly from substance abuse; some never made it through. Instead they chose to end it! We all know that abuse by substance, be it alcohol or drugs is a disease and will not cure by itself! Folks, I don’t believe for one minute what I have read here. These complaints are childish and nothing short of those being lodged by someone suffering from psychological narcissism! Furthermore, slandering someone’s name here as you have blatantly done is definitely liable for a lawsuit. Remember, everyone can be located even though you haven’t used your true name or location!
