New Westminster, Canada Westminster House Recovery Centre for Women Full time

Westminster House helps women, youth girls, and all female-identifying persons reclaim their lives and heal from addiction.

We are a gender-specific bed-based treatment centre with a strong focus on the social model and community. Our programs recognize that women seeking alcohol and drug addiction treatment have specific needs. There are differences between the challenges men face and those faced by women when it comes to initiating and sustaining recovery. Many women have additional familial responsibilities and experience social stigma attached to women who can't control their alcohol or drug use.
