Village of Hope is a long-term residential drug and alcohol recovery program in Upper Tracy, New Brunswick, that helps adults (men and women) whose substance use has disrupted key areas of life, including work, family, health, and daily functioning, to rebuild stability through structured community living and personal transformation. Its core offering is an immersive residential program that blends recovery work with routine, responsibility, peer support and spiritual grounding.
A Ten-Month Residential Pathway With Holistic Focus
The centre’s flagship program is a 10-month Christian-based residential recovery experience that combines structured daily life with classes, work duties, recovery education, and personal development. Participants can expect to engage in individual reflection, group work, character-building activities, and supervised responsibilities, including work ethic development and practical skills, in a supportive, community setting designed to strengthen resilience and coping strategies.
Spiritual, Emotional and Practical Growth in Daily Life
Daily living at Village of Hope integrates recovery content with real-world routine: residents take part in structured classes, guided work projects, chores and spiritual sessions that build accountability, healthy habits and interpersonal growth. Spiritual support and mentorship are core elements, and family involvement is encouraged once initial orientation and community integration are established.
Supportive Community Anchored in Longer-Term Change
Village of Hope’s model situates recovery within ongoing residential life where participants live with peers and staff, build daily structure and engage in meaningful work and reflection. This approach helps prepare individuals to return to life beyond the program with strengthened life-skills, coping strategies and community support.
A Nonprofit, Donor-Funded Option With Sponsorship Opportunities
The program is funded through donations and community support, and offers monthly sponsorship opportunities so Canadians can help cover the cost of supervision, housing, meals and mentorship for students enrolled in the year-long training program.
