LIFE Recovery Association is a women’s residential addiction recovery organization in Abbotsford, BC that supports adults whose alcohol or drug use has already begun affecting daily functioning: work, family roles, housing stability, or emotional wellbeing. This is a faith-anchored, live-in environment where women live together and work through recovery with structured support, community, and connection rather than episodic outpatient care.
A Safe, Structured Setting to Reclaim Everyday Life
Women typically arrive here when repeated efforts to manage substance use on their own haven’t held and consequences are now visible in day-to-day life. The program provides a stable residential rhythm where daily routines, shared responsibilities, and peer and staff support create an environment that reduces chaos and supports steady engagement with recovery tasks.
Recovery Through Community, Reflection, and Purpose
LIFE Recovery’s approach integrates abstinence-based residential care with emotional and spiritual support, including individual counselling, group participation, 12-step engagement, Bible study, art therapy, and guided reflection. The focus is on holistic change, addressing physical, mental, social, and spiritual dimensions, so women can begin building resilience and smoother patterns that carry into life outside the residence.
A Continuum That Meets You Where You Are
The centre operates a continuum of residential support services spanning multiple homes and stages, with stays that can range from three months to a year or more depending on individual needs and progress. This extended timeframe allows women to move beyond immediate crisis into deeper personal growth and stability.
For Women Ready to Live Recovery Daily
LIFE Recovery Association is often used by women who recognize that substance use has already interfered with what matters: housing, relationships, work, or emotional balance, and who need a sustained, structured residential space where recovery is practiced day by day in community, not tucked into occasional sessions.
