What Last Door does

Last Door Recovery Society is a Canadian registered charity founded in 1984 that operates a portfolio of residential and outpatient addiction treatment programs for youth (males 14–18), adults (males 19+), and families, with co-ed services at the Red Deer facility. It runs four treatment facilities — New Westminster BC (headquarters), Calgary AB (73 beds: 71 treatment + 2 detox), Red Deer AB, and the Keystone 40-acre rural retreat in Mission BC — and serves over 200 individuals per week nationally. Its underlying technology and clinical platform is the proprietary "My Recovery Plan" software (launched 2019), a tablet-based Recovery Capital Assessment and monitoring tool built around a biopsychosocial, four-phase treatment model (Orientation, Primary Treatment, Community Living, Community Transition/Continuing Care).

The business model blends multiple revenue streams: private-pay bed-based treatment at $300/day with an average 4–5 month stay (~$36,000–$45,000 per client), fully government-funded licensed Recovery Community contracts in Alberta (Calgary and Red Deer), a 45-Day Workplace Wellness/Return-to-Work program for employers, transitional living/sober housing, a free family enhancement program, a 72-course online CEU platform (ceu.lastdoor.org) for addiction professionals starting at CA$30/course, donations (including cryptocurrency, vehicle, and planned giving), and ancillary services such as interventions and recovery coaching. Go-to-market combines inside-sales admissions (7am–7pm helpline), enterprise sales to employers, government contract channels, SEO across Canadian cities, community-led alumni referrals, and thought leadership through the annual Recovery Capital Conference (7,000+ healthcare professionals since 2017) and Talk Recovery Radio.

The organization is governed by a Board of Directors composed of former service users and family members, holds Accreditation Canada's Four Year Seal, is licensed under BC's Community Care and Assisted Living Act by the BC Ministry of Health and Fraser Health Authority, and maintains CACCF-certified counsellors and an ASAM-certified physician. It has no parent company, no venture or private equity backing, and operates as a non-profit with diversified, partially government-dependent revenue.
