Alberta Health Services - Lander Treatment Centre

When I went through it was an amazing healing time. I am thinking that if the program is as strong and the willingness is there recovery gets a boost here.

I went as recommended by my psychiatrist. I wasn’t sure if I would gain anything from attending as I had just completed 40 days in a psych. Ward. I am so very glad I did go. Lander Center has been life-changing for me. The program is intense and especially week 2 will test most people’s mettle. The councillors and support staff are second to none and if you want to get help with what I consider the best treatment for your money, then Lander Center has my full recommendation. The amenities are somewhat spartan but you should want to be going for an effective treatment program. If you are in need of addictions help and are ready to do the work needed, truly consider Lander Center. All the best too all who enter.

strict, emotional, supportive, engaging and most importantly life changing. my grad was Aug 24/18 and although it has only been 3 months I'm still a sober non smoker. the actual building could use a ton of love cause it's pretty shitty but the staff (hi morgan) are kickass. getting control of addiction requires a lot of truth and openness, is very emotional and the councilors and support staff were amazing. strict for sure but if you are there to get better you wouldn't notice because you're where you should be on time, respectful and participating. Landers made it possible for me to finally stay sober. I never could my own way.

This was my 3rd time going to Landers Treatment and I thought this time since they had changed their program criteria and admission requirements, from the other times I was there, was awesome! The no smoking and no outside interference of laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc., helped immensely. The curriculum was more in depth and hit more to the roots of my issues. Great food and always on time. Also, all of the staff were amazing and so very kind. They never once judged me or made me feel like I wasn't worth the effort and hard work. The Rec staff, amazing as well. I still to this day, 1 year later of being clean and sober, do the morning routines with my 5 year old daughter. She loves them! Thank you guys! To all the staff at Landers keep up the great work! Thank you all so very much.

I was admitted on January 7th 2001 and stayed for 2 weeks. It saved my life and everything associated with it. I have now been sober for 17 years and tomorrow 7 months. One thing the treatment made me realize is that I cannot drink. It is just one of those things I cannot do. One of the other thing I cannot do is fly and I don't need to jump off a building to know that, I just know. It was a great program and the therapist (can't remember her name) was terrific. The place was full of people who wanted nothing but your success. One statistic I'm very proud of is that on April 9th 2016 I could say that I had been sober OVER (by 1 day) half my married life! I know that if I had not had this treatment and been successful I would be dead or worse. My name is Paddy and I'm a recovering alcoholic.
