Simon House Recovery Centre is a well-established, nonprofit residential addiction recovery program in Calgary, Alberta that supports men on their journey out of substance use and toward long-term recovery. Founded in 1982, the centre has evolved into a licensed residential treatment environment where structured engagement, community belonging, and personal transformation are central to the recovery experience.
A Structured Residential Path to Recovery
Simon House offers a 12-week in-house recovery program designed to immerse residents in routines, therapeutic engagement, and personal growth activities. Daily life includes structured classes, compulsory group meetings, personal counselling, and recovery-oriented rituals such as external 12-Step meetings and daily house gatherings that build consistency and accountability over time.
Recovery Built on Compassion, Continuity, and Peer Support
The centre’s approach blends the traditional 12-Step model with multi-disciplinary therapeutic techniques and holistic progression phases, helping men understand underlying patterns of addiction and develop new coping strategies. Residents live on-site during the active treatment phase, supported by trained staff who emphasize compassion, mutual respect, and practical life skills alongside recovery work.
Accredited, Accessible Care With a Focus on Reintegration
Simon House is fully licensed by the Alberta government and accredited by Accreditation Canada, demonstrating a commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement in addiction care. The centre also accepts individuals using prescribed medications such as Suboxone or Methadone as part of its medication-assisted recovery support, reflecting a comprehensive, non-judgmental approach to treatment.
A Supportive Community Anchored in Purpose and Belonging
Simon House suits men seeking a structured, residential recovery environment where daily responsibilities, peer relationships, and therapeutic engagement are woven into everyday life. Its focus on accountability, self-reflection, and long-term recovery equips residents with the habits, insight, and support needed to move toward independence and healthier living beyond addiction.
