About this center

Foothills Detox Centre in Fort Macleod, Alberta is a medically supported adult detoxification program that provides a safe, structured environment for individuals withdrawing from alcohol and other drugs. With a history of compassionate care lasting over four decades, the centre supports adults who need both physical stabilization and guided preparation for the next steps in recovery.

A Medically Supported Setting Designed for Safety and Stability

Foothills Detox Centre offers 24/7 medical oversight as clients navigate the often challenging process of withdrawal. Staff assess each person’s physical and emotional needs, monitor vital signs, and adjust care plans in real time to enhance safety and comfort during this foundational phase.

Structured Group Support and Psycho-Educational Engagement

Alongside clinical monitoring, the Foothills Detox program integrates group sessions and educational components that build understanding of addiction, initial recovery concepts, and relapse prevention. These group activities, supported by one-on-one interaction with program staff, help clients begin building awareness, self-esteem, and insight while still early in the recovery process.

Personalized Guidance Toward the Next Phase of Recovery

Foothills Detox Centre emphasizes individual support and transition planning, assisting clients with referrals to ongoing treatment resources and helping prepare them for residential or outpatient programs once medically stable. Staff help coordinate next steps for individuals who do not have a safe environment post-detox, reinforcing continuity of care as recovery progresses.

Accessible Support for Adults Ready to Change

This adult detox program serves residents of southern Alberta who require medically supervised withdrawal support as a vital first step toward long-term recovery. By blending clinical oversight with psycho-educational engagement and compassionate support, Foothills Detox Centre offers a critical foundation for individuals ready to pursue healthier, more resilient lives beyond active addiction.
