About This Cause
Fresh Start Recovery is a nationally recognized charitable organization that is a leader in the treatment of addiction and substance abuse. Established in 1992, with locations in Calgary and Lethbridge, we continue to provide solutions that help people recover by housing, treating, and supporting individuals affected by addiction. Fresh Start Recovery’s treatment program recognizes addiction as a chronic brain disorder. We understand that treatment can help facilitate a life of recovery, empowering individuals to live healthy and productive lives. We employ an interdisciplinary approach to treating addiction that is specifically tailored to an individual’s needs. Fresh Start Recovery aligns with the philosophy that recovery is restoring an individual’s sense of belonging through self-determination and reconnection to self, others, and community. We utilize a comprehensive goal-setting strategy, building resiliency by developing and exploring interpersonal relationships, spirituality, education, employment, housing, culture, and a further introspective look at oneself. This approach is enhanced through recreational and therapeutic activities in an atmosphere conducive to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Our peer support model runs in unison with our treatment model of integrated chronic care, a base derived from the 12-step abstinence model of recovery and underpinned by a biopsychosocial-spiritual model of therapy. Our staffing model is exceptionally diverse and eclectic. We have approximately 300 years of combined lived experience amongst our employees, allowing us to bring forth a practical, empirically based approach to treatment, reinforced with varying degrees of academic recognition. Our insight, compassion, and understanding of addiction and recovery allow us to offer our clients a refuge from addiction and engage them in becoming part of the larger recovery community.
