Women’s Treatment Program

Hannah House provides a structured addiction treatment program for women, with a safe environment created and operated by women who have conquered their own addiction and alcoholism. If you know a woman who is addicted to alcohol, drugs or other substances, you already know how difficult it can be. That’s why we are here to help. We believe that successful addiction treatment is achieved by taking a holistic approach. That’s why it’s crucial to ensure that each woman is treated like an individual and is accurately assessed so their specific needs are identified early in the treatment process. Trauma, depression, chronic pain and anxiety are all challenges that can affect a woman’s addiction. Identifying these issues early on will help our team customize a treatment plan to help each woman on her path to sobriety success.

Program Overview

Approach

All staff and counsellors draw from personal experiences in recovery, and they all lead clean and sober lives. Our frontline staff all draw from their personal experiences in recovery, and they all lead clean and sober lives. Our staff are trained in the addiction industry and supported by addictions physicians, clinical counselors, and our senior staff all have achieved various levels of education in the addictions field. Throughout the year, our staff is involved in a variety of different training and development programs, because we believe that the best way for us to provide help to others is to be constantly bettering ourselves as well.

Screening

Our intake office serves as the first point of contact for potential clients and referral sources. The call centre staff are available to assist individuals who are seeking help and to determine the most appropriate solutions and referrals for those individuals.

Our History

Hannah House

After years of helping men get sober, Kim and Billy felt they needed to bring the InnerVisions’ model of recovery to women as well. Together they fought hard to open a women’s treatment centre, and finally in 2002 their efforts came to fruition when Hannah House opened its doors. Hannah House, named so for the Hebrew meaning “grace of God”, has helped thousands of women learn to live clean and sober. Our staff at Hannah House are all graduates of our program and are dedicated to helping women receive the support and guidance they need to become the best versions of themselves. At Hannah House we believe in the power of women lifting each other up and supporting one another. Hannah House helps women transform their lives and overcome the horrors of addiction every day.
