An Ottawa rehab offering a female first approach
Truly a centre of healing and wellness with programs created just for women
About Our
Rehab Center
We have shaped our addiction treatment program to address the specific concerns faced by women suffering from the pain of substance use disorders. The distinct characteristics of the female experience cannot be separated from any program for recovery. Acknowledgment of the different experiences that women face within our society as a whole, and within the recovery process in particular, is paramount to a program that is to be successful.
Our accomodations
At Sobriety.ca foundation we provide separate living quarters for women, giving them a safe space in which to heal, however we have found that a gender free, neutral, universal program of recovery is NOT a realistic or productive means by which to address the reality that women face in recovery.
Nutrition as medicine
One of the often overlooked aspects of healing for women is learning how to nurture themselves.
We place a strong focus on the importance of the healing power of nutrition as a healing tool for women in recovery.
Finding Balance & Peace
Of course, the primary therapeutic approach to recovery from unhealthy relationships with any substance is psychology, however, we do not overlook the importance of offering more esoteric approaches to healing. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices are also provided. And after a day of therapy, residents are invited to indulge in our spa offerings. The addiction recovery process can be, at times, both physically and emotionally difficult. Some days, you will have an onslaught of information and emotions to handle and Spa treatments help to restore your peaceful energy, calming and centering you in your body.

Our Therapies
Our innovative and intuitive approach to Addiction Treatment for Women
Psychotherapy
As part of our holistic approach to addiction treatment, we offer a number of different therapeutic approaches from both the traditional and non-traditional schools of thought, as well as different options within each school.
Behavioural Therapy
Behavioursal Therapy focuses on modifying, ultimately ‘unlearning’, your negative behaviours. This therapeutic practice does not explore nor examine underlying causes or emotional issues, and does not strive to make changes to your personality. Behavioural Therapy aims to give you an arsenal of effective responses to physical triggers and chemical urges.
Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive Therapy is a therapeutic approach that works to change inaccurate and distorted beliefs and perceptions—of self and others. Cognitive Therapy works to heal the emotional problems that have resulted from these distorted views, correcting and revising them, while examining both positive and negative results.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy closely examines the underlying and often subconscious causes of your addiction, tracing behaviours to their very origins. Psychodynamic Therapy examines those events that have shaped your personality, attitudes, and, ultimately, has resulted in an emotional disorder that has lead you to addiction. This therapy results in lasting changes to your emotional and psychological health, helping to resolve past trauma, grow self-esteem, and create healthy relationships.
Psycho-Educational Approach
Psycho-Education Therapy focuses on educating you on the emotional and behavioural difficulties that has lead you to addiction; teaching you techniques to effectively control these undesired behaviours, arming you with knowledge. Both you and your loved ones gain a deep understanding of your addiction, why you use, and the harmful psychological effects on all.
