Joshua House Recovery Ministries is a faith-based residential recovery program in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, British Columbia for men whose alcohol or drug use has already begun affecting their housing stability, work consistency, relationships, or emotional wellbeing. This is a structured, live-in environment grounded in Christian principles that supports sustained life change and reintegration into everyday roles.
A Place to Start Over When Everyday Life Isn’t Working
Men typically arrive here after repeated attempts to manage substance use on their own haven’t held and consequences are now showing up in the life they’re still living. Joshua House operates multiple recovery homes, including a more remote ”The Creek” residential base and reintegration houses in Abbotsford, creating a stable, accountable setting away from old triggers and the chaos of past environments.
Recovery Built Into Daily Rhythm and Community
Daily life at Joshua House includes group support, life-skill development, Christian counselling, 12-step engagement, and chores or community responsibilities that help residents build discipline, insight, and practical habits. The program doesn’t impose a strict timeline; recovery is shaped by participation, reflection, and steady progress, with many men staying a minimum of six months or more to deepen stability before reintegrating.
Structured Transition Toward Independence
After initial stabilization, participants may move through a series of homes that progressively allow more independence, from structured residential care to aftercare or support housing where work, education, and community engagement can be pursued while still connected to recovery support.
For Men Ready to Rebuild Life With Support
Joshua House is often used by men who recognize that substance use has already cost them stability and who need a sustained residential environment where recovery is lived daily, supported by peers and guided by Christian community and structure.
