Core Addiction & Mental Health Program
Private inpatient addiction rehab in British Columbia’s Rocky Mountains
Our holistic addiction treatment programs are thoughtfully designed to provide stability and support to those facing dual diagnoses of addiction and mental health disorders, while helping them build a solid foundation for sobriety.
In addition, we also help our patients understand substance abuse, why they became addicted in the first place, and what will be required to maintain recovery going forward. We guide and empower our patients as they discover their own meaning and purpose in a sober life.
Patient who come to Recovery Ranch for help will also benefit becoming a part of a community fully committed to long-termrecovery. Our medical team – including doctors, nurses, and counsellors – provide the care and guidance needed to help break-free from addiction.
Patients will also get the essential mental health support they need, addressing other challenges like depression and anxiety. Through evidence-based treatment, patients will develop the skills and habits to not only achieve, but maintain recovery – for life.
Plus, program peers will offer empathy, encouragement, and support as alumni embark on your lifelong journey, both during and outside of sessions.

What a Day at Recovery Ranch Might Look Like
Every recovery journey is a holistic experience that comes with the support and guidance needed to empower addiction recovery and healing. While every stay at Recovery Ranch is different, this is what a day at our Fort Steele treatment centre might look like in our Core Addiction and Mental Health Program.
Morning
Patients will wake up to some free time to practice the recovery skills they’ve been working on. After enjoying a healthy breakfast prepared by Red Seal-certified chefs, they will take a walk on our lush grounds and set your intentions for the day. You’ll attend an inspiring lecture from others in the recovery community. Then, you’ll cap off the morning by participating in one-on-one counselling or a self-assessment group, where you’ll review your goals and progress with your counsellor and peers.
Afternoon
Enjoy a hearty lunch, followed by a walk, a visit to our gym or a group recreation class, including circuit training, yoga, or somatic movement. Next, a skills group gives patients the chance to practice DBT, boundary setting, and gratitude. Depending on where patients are in their program, they may also work on relapse prevention skills. Afterwards, they will have time for peer interaction.
Evening
Dinner is a social affair at Recovery Ranch, followed by an evening walk. Afterward, patients can attend an AA, NA, or SMART Recovery meeting where they’ll find empathy and support from fellow community members.
