CALGARY Southern Albertans struggling with addictions will soon have a safe, quiet place to recover thanks to a multi-million-dollar commitment from the provincial government. Officials say a new recovery community is in the works at a location next to the existing Fresh Start Recovery Centre, just east of the city of Lethbridge. The quiet, country-like setting will allow participants to focus on their health, wellness and long-term recovery, the province said in a release. The community will offer 50 spaces for clients to receive holistic residential treatment for addiction and mental health challenges. Officials add that building the new community so close to an existing facility has its own benefits to promote a sense of support among the people staying there.
