High Country Recovery Counselling Service is a non-profit charitable agency that was incorporated in January of 2005 and received it's charitable status in January of 2006.

We are at this point a group of hard working volunteers with a Board of Directors, a vision and a sense of pride to be in the helping field.

High Country would like to, in the area of long term goals be able to operate and sustain a long term residential recovery centre. Along with this 6 month treatment centre we would like to incorporate a wilderness component that would allow the client to discover a sense of spirituality and freedom he or she can maintain for a life time. Our clients wilkl come from all over western Canada as well as the far north. We hope to attract clients from all walks of life who want to make a change in thier life. We expect clients from B.C., Alberta to make up the largest portion of our groups.

Our counselling service is in a professional building in the city of Spruce Grove, Alberta. This allows us to assist our clients in a much more efficient manner and offer a comfortable surrounding conducive to safety and healing. We also do our grant proposal writing and networking form this head office.
