Our House (Edmonton) Ltd. currently operates a 70-bed residential facility for adult men addicted to alcohol or drugs including gambling. We are no longer a half-way house, rather, we are a recovery centre offering extensive programming. In addition to providing common basic human needs and a safe environment free from drugs and alcohol, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous meetings are held at the House weekly. Programs are designed to deal with the physical, spiritual and social self. Volunteers play a very important role within the agency, providing help in most areas. These areas include fundraising, food preparation, recreation, seminars, and directing the agency via the Board of Directors. Over 8,000 hours were donated in 2006. Staff are on duty 24 hours per day to deliver program, supervise activities, ensure rules are enforced and followed, prepare and serve meals and offer positive support, direction and role modeling.
