Services
At Her Recovery, we provide comprehensive care that caters to the needs of women. Our qualified staff, registered counsellors, and trauma-informed staff provide care in the form of evidence-based treatment and therapy.
Parent-Child Relationships
One pillar of focus at Her Recovery is ensuring that stable, healthy relationships are maintained between mothers and their children.
Trauma-informed care
In order to provide the best possible care, we seek to understand the underlying factors to addiction. We address family systems, intergenerational trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD in our extended programs.
Women
At Her Recovery, we recognize the gender-related factors that affect women’s treatment. The different societal barriers create a need for women-specialized care when discussing mental health.
Substance Abuse Treatment
Our program includes qualified professionals who provide the best possible care for our clients. Our medical professionals provide psychiatric and medical-based assessments in treatment.
Our four-week base program supports women, and mothers to identify unhealthy relationships, identify healthy supports and develop healthy coping skills. We aim to reduce substance abuse symptoms and increase safe coping skills.
In our eight and twelve week extended program, women work with their primary counsellor to identify the areas in their life where they are most in need. The client chooses to focus on addressing co-dependency or trauma through intensive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with their counsellor. CBT is a highly effective type of therapy for individuals experiencing addictions. Working in tandem with their counsellor, clients will learn to identify the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviors and how to modify them.
Testimonials
Ashley Hamilton
I am thankful for the opportunity to not only come to this facility, but to be able to bring my children with me on my journey to get healthy. My experience was awesome and taking away the added stress of not being able to see my kids made the program much easier for me to follow through with. I am looking forward to using the tools I learned to keep my family on a healthy path. Thank you Her Recovery!!
Sara White
I knew I wanted to get sober but I had my daughter to take care of and leaving her felt like it was too much to bare. I heard about Her Recovery and decided to make contact. They allowed my daughter to come to treatment with me! Having her here with me was the best plan for me. I worked my program during the day without worry. It was there I realized many of the relationships I had been involved in were unhealthy. Because of the help I received there, I am starting to become the healthy role model I want my daughter to have. Can’t say enough good! Thank You!
