Province announces new women's substance-use treatment and recovery facility for Victoria

Coastal Sage Healing House, a community treatment facility, will accept women and non-binary people with moderate-to-severe substance-use challenges, as well as concurrent social, mental and physical health needs.

“When women make the courageous decision to come forward and get help, we want supports to meet them,” Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, said in the release. Admittance to Coastal Sage, which will house participants from throughout the Island Health region, will be based on assessment and referral made by any clinician before going to a triage committee for follow-up.
