For Calgary men and families comparing local programs with a residential stay in Ottawa, here is how the 12 Lodge Method, pricing and aftercare fit together.
Comparing Alberta programs with a stay in Ottawa
Alberta has its own public and private addiction services. 12 Lodge Wellness is a small, all-male Ottawa residence planned for 2027, not a Calgary clinic. If a deliberately small setting of ten men, a recommended 42-day stay and twelve months of aftercare matter to you, explore it alongside options near home.
The 12 Lodge Method brings Reset, Balance and Wellness together through individual counselling, groups, family participation and continuing-care planning. The planned all-male residence has capacity for 10 residents.
Many men weigh time away from work and family. Ask admissions about possible stay lengths and intake, and ask your benefits provider about private out-of-province residential care before assuming any coverage of the published rates.
How would you assess whether residential treatment suits my situation?
What should I arrange with my Calgary doctor or counsellor before a stay?
Which suite costs apply to a 21-, 42- or 60-day stay?
How could aftercare connect with approved practitioners in Calgary?
12 Lodge will not initially offer in-house medical detox. Any required withdrawal management must be completed with appropriate providers before residential admission. Do not travel on the assumption that an enquiry confirms a place or an arrival date.
Return-home planning looks at your relationships, work and routines in Calgary. Included after successful completion: 20 one-hour therapy sessions with an approved outside practitioner within three months of discharge, plus twelve Lodge continuation sessions (one one-hour video appointment through myLodge with your chosen Lodge counsellor each month for twelve months), twelve months of structured online groups and lifetime digital Haven access. All outside practitioners require approval; other services have their own access and costs.
These independent services can help you explore local options. A listing is not a referral partnership or a promise of admission. Free navigation does not mean all treatment is free.
