About Us

Genesis Women’s Life Recovery

Recovery programming focusing on post addiction care, emotional well being and spiritual growth.

Streets Alive Mission currently operates women’s and men’s housing programs which are current designates for use of the Recovery Road Program. Housing and recovery programs are faith-based abstinence programs set within the community of Lethbridge, Alberta. Our goal is to treat the whole person; physical, emotional and spiritual.

 

Recovery Road is a four-phase supportive housing and addictions recovery program that is gender specific. The estimated timeline to complete the program from Phase one through Phase three is approximately six months. Phase four begins and ends based on individual participation of clients. Phase four has no timeline for completion.

Our goal is to provide our residents with support, compassion, a safe space, and the time required to enable them to heal, grow and learn how to live life in a healthy fashion. We believe that with provisions of a continuum of care through a complete recovery program, participants will achieve success.
