Funder and service provider: Island Health
Coastal Sage Healing House is a safe place in Victoria for women and non-binary individuals experiencing substance use challenges. We provide a supportive environment for recovery with wrap-around services that are culturally appropriate and trauma-informed.
Program activities include group and individual counselling, mindfulness, life skills and relapse prevention. Staff work with individuals to create a care plan that addresses substance use, social relationships, as well as physical, cultural and mental health needs. Participants stay up to 90 days.
Participants who complete the program can join a virtual alumni group to support community integration.
