Kelburn Recovery Centre - ST. ADOLPHE, MB

About Kelburn Recovery Centre

Kelburn Recovery Centre is a private residential treatment centre on a historic estate in southern Manitoba, a short distance from Winnipeg, serving adults with addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns. Their inpatient program runs a minimum of 42 days and includes medically supported detox, with medication used to ease withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and seizures. Each stay begins with a full assessment by a psychotherapist, psychiatric nurse, nurse practitioner, and psychiatrist, and care is built around the biological, social, medical, and spiritual sides of recovery. Treatment is privately funded, and a $5,000 deposit is required before admission, though employers and outside agencies can also sponsor a stay.

Clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, trauma therapy, logotherapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. What sets them apart is the blend of Western and Indigenous healing: a community-sanctioned knowledge keeper meets with clients one-on-one and leads weekly ceremonies, and land-based healing in the gardens is part of daily life. Clients also have access to art, drama, music, and dance therapies, along with massage, Reiki, and acupuncture as staffing allows, plus a personalized fitness plan using an on-site pool, gym, and golf course. Discharge planning starts in the first week, and recovery coaches, family programming, and regular check-ins throughout the first year after treatment help clients stay connected once they return home.
