HUM’s unique strength is our ability to draw on individual and collaborative expertise to provide tailored individual care within an Integrated Continuing Care Framework.

Treatment, recovery and rehabilitation recommendations will focus on returning the individual to a state of “wellness” as soon as possible. Recommendations will be designed to ensure the earliest return to work and/or healthy living within the capabilities of each individual.
HUM means ‘we’ or ‘us’ in Hindi. We have chosen this acronym to also convey the meaning that we are stronger and more effective together… “Together we can”!
HUM provides holistic assessment and treatment that encompasses biological, psychological, social and spiritual health.
The assessment and treatment recommendations are based on individual needs and meet people where they are at, rather than fitting people into programs.

The Team at HUM is fantastic and they have an awesome suite of service offerings that align with a Biological, Psychological, Social, and Spiritual model of health; I trust them with contributing in an amazing way to the ongoing health of my Family.
I came to HUM almost 2 years ago feeling at my wits end as I had hit an emotional bottom! I had been sober for over 24 years and worked the steps of my 12 Step program, and yet I still felt disconnected and absolutely confused about where my life was going. From the outset, the Team at HUM offered me a completely different way of thinking about my disease of addiction. This new perspective has allowed me to change my thinking and therefore my actions. This has meant I’ve made some amazing and positive changes in my life that I would have never done using the tools I had at my disposable prior to being involved with HUM.I completed their Intensive Outreach Program and that was the incentive that I needed to make the changes in my life. I continue to attend weekly group therapy sessions and individual counselling sessions. They continue to support my journey of recovery.I can’t say enough good things about HUM and the team of caring, professional staff. I highly recommend this treatment facility to anyone struggling with mental health and/or addiction issues.
I had the very good fortune of being introduced to H.U.M. 4 years ago and that was a turning point in my life. The holistic approach to recovery at H.U.M (bio, psycho, social, spiritual) has been instrumental for me. I feel like I am more than just a patient at H.U.M., I am part of a supportive community. I attend group meetings at H.U.M. weekly as an ongoing part of my program. The physicians and staff are highly knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend H.U.M.!
What brought me to HUM 2+ years ago was an underlying unhappiness, or lack of zest for life/depression. My experience through the assessment appointments was an interesting one, and resonated truth with me. HUM’s compassionate, and empathetic approach towards therapy gave me the safety I needed for personal growth. HUM provided the support, programs, and encouragement to help me push through my cognitive barriers. I completed the Intensive Out Patient program which gifted me a deeper foundation of understanding, practice/tools, friendships, and connection that has changed my life. The HUM professionals, community, and staff are full of beautiful, caring Human Beings. I am forever grateful to HUM for the gifts of recovery they helped me find, and the courage I had to walk through their doors. Thank you HUM. Stay Curious…
I teach yoga for HUM and they are fabulous. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable. They treat their clients and staff with the utmost respect. If you’re looking for an excellent recovery program in Calgary, look no further.
As a healthcare professional with addiction it was very important to be able to access timely, accessible comprehensive care. Not only have I found that HUM met the mark on those fronts they were also incredibly compassionate, and skilled at addressing addiction. Although I have been in recovery since May 2007, it wasn’t until I accessed HUM in Jan 2015, that I was really able to understand my disease and the impact that it has in all areas of my life. Most importantly I was able to do this in a way (with their help) that put my shame aside and see the disease for what it is. The gifts are too numerous to count. I feel extremely fortunate to have found this place; and continue to refer people there, both in my personal and professional life. They are truly addiction whisperers ????
