Empowering recovery through continuous connection—our outreach is your lifeline to lasting change

If you’re struggling with addiction, you’ve come to the right place.

We know it may not feel like it right now, but trust us, change can start here. Since 1992, Fresh Start has been helping individuals and family members recover from addiction, find the courage to change and learn to use the tools they need to live happy, productive lives in recovery.

By the end of 2027, Fresh Start seeks to be viewed as a principal in the growth of the recovery community and the choice for the treatment of addiction and co-current disorders in Alberta. We will utilize and further develop evidenced-based approaches that will not only contribute to the delivery of successful outcomes for the individuals directly served but also create expanded engagement with both family, Alumni, and the recovery community at large.

Our employees will benefit from a workplace that encourages and enables them to grow professionally and personally, with a specific focus on leadership. Through our people, programs, and approach, we will seek to improve the quality of life for every person who contacts our organization.

Our Mission:

Fresh Start is recovering lives by Housing, Treating and Supporting people affected by addiction.

Our Vision:

Every individual, Recovery for Life.

Fresh Start Strategic Approach

Fresh Start has developed a five-year strategy based on an understanding of the current situation and an analysis of the key elements impacting our communities and the people we serve. We feel confident in achieving this through an introspective review of our services and how they are provided. This planning process included input from the Board, stakeholders, staff, clients, and other community engagement, all of which have directed the development of our vision, mission, and values.

Our strategic plan is a testament to Fresh Start Recovery Centre’s commitment to its core mission: to house, treat, and support individuals by guiding them toward meaningful development in the quality of their lives. This commitment is reflected in our efforts to increase understanding of addiction and trauma and foster resiliency through a holistic, culturally sensitive, and supportive experience.
