Our Story
Since 1975, Thorpe Recovery Centre has provided quality programming to individuals and families affected by addiction and mental health challenges. From humble beginnings, Thorpe opened as a two-bed detoxification unit and, in 1988, evolved into a center that could house up to 30-clients with programming.
In 2012, we moved into the space we still call home today. Located just outside of Blackfoot, Alberta, this state-of-the-art 72-bed facility provides holistic addiction treatment for chemical and process dependencies.
Programming was developed to coincide with evidence-based research in the field of addiction treatment, culminating to what is offered today – treating the individual and their family across four platforms: biological, social, psychological, and spiritual. Always growing and ever-changing, client focus remains as it was from day one: the heart of what we do.
