Health Upwardly Mobile (HUM) is an outpatient health and wellness centre located in Calgary, Alberta. The organisation emphasises a multidisciplinary team comprising physicians, nurses, psychologists and social workers, and offers services across addiction, mental health, chronic pain and occupational health.

Services and Approach

HUM provides a wide range of programs including comprehensive assessments, individual counselling and psychotherapy, couples and family therapy, group therapy, online/virtual counselling, hypnotherapy, intensive outpatient programs (IOP and IOP continuing care) and medication-assisted treatments (such as Suboxone, methadone) for opioid-related addiction. The approach emphasises holism: biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions are considered in assessment and planning.

Occupational & Corporate Wellness

Beyond individual outpatient care, HUM also offers occupational health services and corporate wellness/education programs. These include independent medical evaluations (IME), fitness-to-work assessments, urine drug & alcohol testing, customised training and workplace wellness workshops on stress, addiction awareness and mental-health topics.

Strengths and Considerations

Strengths: HUM’s integrated model means clients can access multiple types of providers under one roof, which may improve coordination of care. The breadth of services — spanning addiction, mental health, pain management and occupational wellness — makes it versatile for clients whose issues cross multiple domains (e.g., someone with chronic pain and anxiety, or addiction and work impairment).
Considerations: As a private outpatient centre, users should check funding/insurance eligibility, wait-times, and whether the specific program (e.g., IOP) matches their needs. Long-term residential programs or 24/7 crisis services are not the core focus. Also, location is in Calgary so clients farther afield may need virtual options. The site does mention virtual counselling.

For Whom and How to Get Started

HUM is suited for adults (and families) seeking outpatient counselling, addiction recovery via outpatient programs, and workplace health support. To begin, prospective clients call +1 403-536-2480 and request an assessment; virtual counselling is available for those outside the immediate Calgary area.

Location & Access

The primary address is #5316, 7005 Fairmount Drive SE, Calgary, AB T2H 0K4. Parking and transit information (near Chinook LRT) is provided on the site, making access feasible for local clients. The team also publishes podcasts and blog content, suggesting a community and education orientation as well.
