Alcove Addiction Recovery for Women

Alcove Addiction Recovery for Women is a Calgary-based treatment centre dedicated exclusively to women seeking freedom from addiction. Located in the SW community at 1941–42 Ave SW, Alcove provides a safe, gender-specific environment where women can focus fully on recovery without distraction. The centre offers a continuum of care — from intensive residential treatment through to outpatient support and sober living — designed to meet women at every stage of their recovery journey.

Gender-Specific and Holistic Care

Alcove recognizes that women experience addiction differently than men, and that a women-only environment fosters greater trust, openness, and healing. The program integrates holistic and alternative therapies alongside traditional counselling — addressing the emotional, physical, and relational dimensions of addiction. Clients work with experienced counsellors to uncover the underlying causes of their substance use and develop healthy coping strategies for lasting change.

Full Spectrum of Treatment Options

The centre offers a comprehensive range of programming levels including inpatient residential care, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), standard outpatient services, and sober living support. This continuum ensures women can step up or step down in care intensity as their recovery progresses. Aftercare planning is integrated from the start so that every client leaves with a strong support network and a concrete plan for maintaining sobriety.

Treating a Range of Addictions

Alcove supports women dealing with addictions to alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, opioids, and other substances. Individual counselling and group therapy sessions are delivered in a space that prioritizes dignity and respect. With shared accommodation, a communal dining hall, and dedicated counselling rooms, residents build community with peers who understand their experiences — making recovery feel both achievable and supported.
