The goal of the Red Deer Dream Centre is for clients to find hope and healing, reconnect with their families, and become productive, contributing and purpose-filled members of society.
The centre welcomes clients straight from detox and supports them with housing, meals, and individual and group counselling for a minimum four-month program. The centre also assists with housing, education upgrading, and referrals for job skill training as the men transition back into the community.
