Healing & Recovery Program
A landing place of hope & recovery
Narrow Road Home Program
We are an in-house healing recovery home for women with a strong emphasis on family counselling and restoration of those key relationships. We offer a unique, faith-centred healing program for women struggling with all issues in life: emotional brokenness, mental health concerns, addictions, crisis and domestic violence.
The home offers transitional living programs for people struggling with all issues in life not just addiction. It is a landing place to be vulnerable, without judgment, a place to take the time to transition back into the fast pace of life.
Post-treatment, the home is a transitional living time of transition, or simply a place to come that offers serenity and opportunity for in-depth reflection, one that fosters healing.
This key ingredient is often missing and must replace the sorrow and feelings of helplessness that permeates many hurting families. We desire for light to radiate and replace where darkness has taken over in fractured lives.
The highly structured and supportive environment of the Narrow Road Home recovery house has been thoughtfully and strategically planned.
Narrow Road Home accepts women into the program regardless of race, religion, lifestyle or financial status. Admissions are confidential and referrals may be made personally or by provincial detox centres, adult addiction outpatient services, employee assistance programs, women’s correctional facilities, private treatment centres, physicians, health care professionals, social workers and counsellors. Women must be 18 years of age to access our services.

Program Goals
Our program relies on three very specific guiding principles: surrender, ownership and core-level honesty.
01.
— Surrender
The first priority at the Narrow Road Home is to acknowledge and admit that at a deep level we are broken. Surrender is the beginning of a new relationship with ourselves, others and God. As we begin to develop a trusting relationship with God, other women and themselves that is needed to begin to break down the walls that keep them bound in self-destruct modes.
02.
— Ownership
Second, and of utmost importance, a woman begins to take ownership and responsibility of her life choices and the subsequent decisions she has made. Additionally, we understand that a woman’s decision to reach out for help and healing from a state of crisis in her personal world has her arriving at our Home in a place of turmoil and fragility. In order to regain her focus and stability, both physically and emotionally, each woman will need grace, nurturing, and a time for the fog to lift from the negative impact of an unhealthy lifestyle and thinking patterns.
03.
— Honesty
Thirdly, our program implores each woman to take a hard look at the areas in her life where she needs to seek forgiveness, repent to others and seek God’s strategy and wisdom for healing wounds still seeping. They will be asked to look squarely at the damaging effects of their actions and mind-sets have had on their relationships, emotional and spiritual fitness and personal success.
guiding principals
Inner Healing
Restoring family Relationships is foundational to our ministry. We are dedicated to helping you find freedom of heart and soul by walking with you on your own personal journey from birth to your present life.
From a young age we all experience hurt, betrayal, or offense through relationship with someone we loved or expected more from. These wounds, whether intentional or unintentional, make an imprint in our thoughts and feelings. These wounds influence our behavior at the deepest of levels.
How we respond to these offenses at the time of the wounding determines whether or not the wound heals or become infected. Festering wounds create growing bitterness and poison in the soul that pours out onto those around us causing destructive conflict and chaos within ourselves and others. Usually the ones we love the most.
On this healing journey we want you identify the root cause of your hurt and pain and then we will guide you take action to heal those strongholds of hurt and torment.
It is our ultimate goal for you to experience hope and to rise up in victory over your emotional and spiritual brokenness.
Inner Healing Sessions facilitates you to dive deep into these dark places of infection and pain. All the more welcoming and seeking God’s ultimate strategy to expose the root to bring healing that offers lasting freedom. Bringing joy, peace, and hope to emotional and spiritual wounds.

What is the process of getting into nrh?
The initial introduction into the NRH program consists of an informative phone consultation with one of our Admissions Coordinators, consisting of a general Program overview and Q & A, providing a comprehensive outline of our program, services and client criteria for admission. It is important to us that you are a good match for our program. Following our discovery consultation and pending the NRH team approval process we will have an orientation session in which we will outline the details of you stay and plan your personalized healing program.
We encourage and provide services for family members willing to attend an orientation session with potential clients.
Who is a good match for the NRH program?
We find that the women who are the most successful at NRH are those who have finally come to the end of themselves, are tired of coping mechanisms and self-defeating behaviour patterns that no longer work and are ready for deep soul healing. Many women who join the NRH community have attempted recovery before and have struggled to find lasting healing and stability. NRH is slightly different than other programs in that it is not just a recovery house or a place to “get away from it all” for a bit. NRH is an experience – one that happens on the inside as we walk together with our community and pursue a common goal. We have no time limits on how long you will be with us at NRH because each women’s journey to healing is unique.
We are not about the shortcuts of recovery nor the short term fixes and solutions that don’t work long term. We are the right fit for a women who is ready to go to the places of hidden secrets and pain and willing to trust God in the process.
