New recovery community to be built near Edmonton

Alberta’s government is transforming the McCullough Centre in Gunn from a housing program into a long-term intensive addiction treatment program.

The Gunn recovery community will have a campus-style layout. The existing resident cabins and recreation hall will be renovated to support programming requirements, and a new dining centre will be constructed with a central kitchen and facility for resident laundry.

The government is increasing access to recovery-oriented addiction treatment. A government-owned facility in Gunn will be renovated to suit the needs of the intensive addiction treatment model that will be offered at the new recovery community.

The Gunn facility transformation is expected to create more than 100 jobs when construction starts in 2022. Once completed, the 100-bed facility will employ approximately 100 Albertans and will have the capacity to offer treatment to 400 Albertans every year.
