"Women into healing saved my life. I was a suicidal, depressed addict who hated herself. In an atmosphere of safety, comfort and love, I learned the tools I needed to look at myself in the mirror with a smile - and without shame and guilt. My life today is honest, clean and joyous... the real core of this centre is the people - I was surrounded by a love and care that nourished my soul, and the love and care hasn't ended just because my 42 days have."

"I lived in a nice house, had a good job and thought I had it all. But there was a sense of emptiness inside of me, which only alcohol could fill. My last days of drinking were dark and suicidal, alcohol was my best friend, my lover my saviour... Women Into Healing gave me some incredible tools to turn my life into something I honestly did not think was possible... I felt supported, encouraged and safe. I will always be eternally grateful to the ladies of Women Into Healing, for giving me a new life."

"Today I feel strong in my sobriety. I like and value myself more. I have new and more efficient ways of coping with life. They made sure that I was set up with a good aftercare program and I know that they'll always be there if I need additional support. I am so very grateful for my life today. It is so different from what my life was like and I have W.I.T.H to thank!!"

Why Women Into Healing?

Why W.I.T.H.? | Our Team | Client Testimonials

We are special!

Women have special needs and our experienced staff understand that. Often women need a new sense of real purpose and value. They need to feel loved, supported, and cared for to begin the process of changing their lives. There will be an immediate connection of support and understanding when each client arrives at Women into Healing and begins her journey of recovery. Women here are given the privacy and help they need to rediscover themselves and begin to recover in mind, body and spirit from the devastation of alcoholism and drug addiction.

Get to know our team »

A Healing Retreat

Women into Healing is a place where every woman can rediscover her capacity to live a fully enriched and empowered life and to make effective choices for optimal physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual health. We are committed to restoring and developing new, healthy and balanced ways of living that includes family, community, culture, value systems, spiritual growth and re-entry into the real world.

Individualized, custom case management for each client

This allows us to create individual strategies and goals while ensuring an honest and transparent partnership.

One on One Counselling

Just the opposite of most treatment centres. We emphasize one on one as much as group counseling and direct aftercare counseling starts here long before graduation. (Oh yes, post graduation aftercare counseling is included in your initial cost.)

Comfortable & intimate numbers

We choose to keep it small and personal so that we are better able to provide a better staff to client ratio plus allowing women to have the care they need while feeling safe. You will find much understanding, grace, support and encouragement from our entire team.

Location, Location, Location!

Close to Vancouver, easy to get to, yet far enough away to “get away from it all.” If you are from out of town we will meet you at the plane, train, bus or ferry.

Affordable

While offering a complete menu of help and services we chose to price our program to meet the budget of every woman. When you consider the cost of addiction, its activities and destruction it might be wise to invest a reasonable amount in new and healthy living. Please see our Fees section.

Integrity & leadership by example

Every member of our staff and company of colleagues endorse the value of setting everyday examples for our clients and others to learn and live by. We understand the need to be accountable and at times even transparent to each other in service as well as those we serve. “We must act as though the whole world was watching.”

Safety

Your security and anonymity is assured at Women into Healing. “Who so ever comes here, stays here!”

“Confidentiality, anonymity & security
are firmly enforced at Women into Healing.”
