Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for admission to Lakeview Recovery Community, applicants must meet the following criteria:

Age: Must be 18 years or older.

Gender: This is a male-only program.

Residency: Must be a resident of Alberta.

Costs: The program, lodging, and food is all covered by the Government of Alberta.  Additional costs may include canteen items, medication purchases, clothing purchases (some donations are available). 

Step 1: Complete an Admissions Application Form

To begin the admissions process, the applicant must complete an Admission Application Form. We offer two admissions pathways: 

  1. A self-referral form for individuals
  2. A pre-admission assessment form for referring agencies. 

 

Step 2: Admissions Form Review

Once the application is complete, our team reviews it in detail to confirm eligibility, understand recovery goals, and ensure alignment with Lakeview's treatment offerings. This review helps us prepare a personalized admissions pathway and identify any follow-up needed before the phone interview with admissions staff. 

 

Step 3: Phone Interview & Weekly Check-Ins

Once your application has been reviewed, our Admissions Team will reach out to complete a phone interview with you. During this call, we'll gather some additional information and answer any questions you may have.

After your interview, you'll be required to complete a weekly check-in call at 825-394-6719 to stay active on our waitlist. These calls help us keep in touch and ensure spots are offered to applicants who are ready and available.

Please note: if you miss two consecutive weekly check-ins, you may be removed from the waitlist.

 

Step 4: Admission Scheduling

When a bed becomes available, our Admissions Team will reach out to the applicant directly to plan transportation and coordinate a smooth and timely transition into the Lakeview Recovery Community.

The timeline to admission can vary significantly depending on the number of individuals currently on the waitlist. Due to frequent fluctuations in availability, we do not provide far-out bed dates or guaranteed timelines in advance.
