Straight Path Recovery Shelter

National Zakat Foundation is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of the Straight Path Recovery House. The Straight Path Recovery House is a facility located in Surrey, British Columbia. It is an abstinence based long-term supportive recovery home for men aged 19 and over. Our minimum program length is 90 days. We provide a safe, structured and supervised living environment where men in the early stages of recovery help themselves and one another overcome their addiction. We believe that any addict/alcoholic can get clean, stay clean, and find a new way of life free from the bondage of addiction. We foster an atmosphere of recovery where residents can reach their full potential, become productive members of the community and find a new way of life.

Our facility provides shared accommodation for up to 10 men, allowing for more personalized care and attention. Residents enjoy a smoke free indoor setting, featuring two kitchens, two lounge areas, two dining areas, washrooms and showers on both floors, complete laugh area, in house computer area, sun deck, house garden and telephone access.
