A 39-day integrated addiction and trauma ‘live-in’ treatment program for women.
Established in 1990, Hope Place Women’s Treatment Centre is a ‘live-in’ integrated addiction and stage one trauma treatment program. Using an evidence-based and gender-responsive curriculum, this holistic 39-day program provides an ‘abstinence-based’ approach to recovery; in a rural home-like setting, which offers the safety, serenity and support women need to begin their healing journey. Our uniquely qualified and dedicated professional staff team – many of whom are also in recovery, deliver comprehensive services, which recognize women’s individual needs, situations and experiences. A physician, specializing in addiction and mental health visits on-site every week to tend to the often complex health needs of our ‘live in’ program participants.
The Ontario Health Team (Government of Ontario) provides core funding for thirteen beds, which are available to any woman with a valid Health Card who meets the admission criteria. Two beds are reserved for women with extended healthcare benefits or who pay privately for a “no-wait-admission”. A program fee (*rate establish annually – contact us for details) is payable upon admission by every participant, to offset the cost of specialized program materials and activities.
Admission Criteria
- Women, ages 18 and over, experiencing addictions to alcohol and/or other drugs

- Participants are required to engage in screening and assessment procedures (including a telephone and face-to-face interview); and must satisfy pre-treatment requirements (telephone contacts and community ‘self-help’ group meeting attendance)

Components of the program include:
