Our House Addiction Recovery Centre

What Our House Addiction Recovery Centre does

Our House Addiction Recovery Centre is a registered non-profit charity founded in 1984 in Edmonton, Alberta, operating a 30-room residential facility on a 3-acre site that delivers a year-long (10-13 month) addiction recovery program exclusively for men aged 18+. The program combines a nine-module psycho-educational curriculum (covering Addiction as a Disease, Assertiveness, Co-dependency, Process Addiction, Relapse Prevention, Relationships, Self-esteem, Shame, and Stress), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and integration with on-site 12-Step meetings (NA, CA, AA). The Men in Recovery add-on offers 18 supplementary sessions on identity, relationships, sexuality, and trauma. Four concurrent disorder treatment beds are operated through a partnership with Alberta Health Services at Alberta Hospital.

The organization is fully grant-funded — clients pay nothing for treatment services — with supplementary revenue from donations, monthly giving, tribute giving, event fundraising, and partnerships with CanadaHelps and Skip The Depot. The GTM motion is sales-led direct intake via an admissions process, with referrals flowing from Alberta Health Services and detox centres. Outreach services (individual and family counselling, after-care, alumni support) are offered to the broader community without a residential commitment.

The organization employs 17 staff and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Andrew Greenshaw, with Executive Director Kim Clark leading operations. Our House is accredited by Accreditation Canada (renewed April 2023, originally with Commendation in 2010) and holds an MHSPA licence. Its largest known capital event was a $3M+ CAD donation from Homeward Trust between 2008 and 2014 that funded a move to larger West Edmonton facilities and expanded capacity from 34 to 58-60 clients.
