Charlford House offers a residential recovery program for women ready to break free from addiction and rebuild their lives. Rooted in the 12 Steps and delivered within a supportive therapeutic community, our program provides the safety, structure, and compassion needed to begin healing — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Residents commit to a minimum 90-day stay, where they participate in a structured daily routine that includes:

• Group counselling

• Individual counselling

• Addiction education and written reflection

• Physical wellness

• Healthy meals and accommodation

• Guest speakers, skill-building, and recreation

• First Nations healing practices such as drumming circles, smudges, sweats, and Medicine Wheel teachings

Through shared experience and emotional connection, women learn to view their challenges as opportunities for growth. Our surroundings and programming are designed to support personal responsibility, self-worth, and long-term behavioural change.

As each woman becomes more stabilized, she is supported in reconnecting with community resources, parenting and medical supports, employment exploration, and life skills. Many continue their journey through Charlford House’s Transitional Housing and Sober Living residences, which offer ongoing structure, connection, and accountability.

Charlford House is more than a program — it is a family of women helping women, walking together toward sustained recovery and a life of dignity, purpose, and hope.
