Westminster House

Westminster House gave me a home. I came into treatment very lost, and afraid. I soon came to see that I was in a safe place where I could finally heal. The staff has gone above and beyond for me. After my 90 days in primary I moved into the 2nd stage transitional housing, as I had decided to stay in New Westminster for the amazing recovery community I had become a part of. I work at the house now, and have to honor of being a part of other women's recovery journey. I also attend Vancouver Community College on a scholarship provided to me by Westminster House, as they encourage women not only to recover, but to build themselves a stronger future.

I went through the house almost a year ago, and now i work there! Westminster house saved my life! The staff really helped me on days that i just couldn't do life anymore on my own. It really helps that all staff are in recovery. Ive been to other treatment centers where the counsellors were not in recovery and had no real life experience with addiction and i couldnt relate to them and to be honest i couldn't take them seriously. Westminster house showed me how to build a strong connection with other women and helped me manage other relationships in my life. Westminster house also provides a family program, which my family is a part of. My family has been a part of this group for almoat a year and yhey have learned so much. It has saved our family. Im.so grateful for all the help i continue to get on a daily basis from them. If you struggle with addiction i highly recommend getting the help through them. They have ahown me that my life is worth living today!

All the staff at Westminster House helped me gain my integrity, sobriety, family and smile back into my life. From my first steps into their doors I felt so much love from everyone that is a part of the Westminster House community. I was taught a new way of life during my stay through group sessions and one to one session with my case worker for which I will be forever grateful for. They definitely know how to make recovery fun! If you are struggling with addiction I highly recommend Westminster House for your recovery journey.
