Calgary AlphaHouse Society<br />
About:<br />
Following a Harm-Reduction Philosopy, AlphaHouse aims to provide support to those who struggle<br />
with alcohol and substance abuse. AlphaHouse provides a shelter for those who are under the<br />
influence where they are monitored by Addiction Workers. A detox unit is also available for those<br />
who are looking to overcome their addiction in which Addiction Support Workers will monitor<br />
their withdrawal and create short-term and long-term plans with the client in relation to their<br />
addiction such as finding appropriate treatment centres. Here, medication is monitored and Opiate<br />
Replacement Therapy is offered. The organization also has an Outreach Program where they work<br />
with the community. Housing First is another component which aids in finding permanent homes<br />
for the individuals if they are battling homelessness due to their addiction.<br />
