for what

IN DEVELOPMENT

This website introduces our proposed program. Applications of interest are welcome. Opening dates, formal admissions, fees, licensing, and funding are still to be confirmed.

THE FOUNDATION APPROACH

Rebuilding a life.
Not just one part of it.

Health. Relationships. Work. A place to belong. Recovery touches all of them.

Our program design brings these parts together in one personal RECOVERY Plan. Residents and staff set practical goals, review progress, and work toward a stable, independent life.

The planned residence is for people who have already completed medical withdrawal care. It is not a detox facility.

EIGHT AREAS. ONE CONNECTED PLAN.

LIFE AT FOUNDATION

Ordinary routines.
Meaningful change.

Structure you can build on

Shared meals, daily check-ins, household responsibilities, and time for movement and rest.

People in your corner

Peer mentorship, recovery meetings, planned counselling connections, and family involvement where appropriate.

Your own reason to keep going

A non-denominational approach that respects faith, culture, secular pathways, and resident-defined purpose.
