Alpha House Society is a non-profit, charitable agency providing safe spaces to men and women whose lives have been impacted by alcohol and other drug dependencies. We operate an emergency shelter in Calgary and Lethbridge, and Detox, Housing (Community and Place-based) and Outreach (DOAP, Encampment, Needle Response) Programs in Calgary.
Alpha House was established in 1981 as a place of safety for men and women struggling with addictions, as well as mental and physical health issues. We operate a Shelter and Detox/Transitional facility, Outreach Programs, including the DOAP Team, Encampment Team, and the Needle Response Team, and Housing Programs with intensive case management support.
