New Dawn has a well-respected reputation for remaining accessible to women who experience multiple barriers to accessing treatment, often due to concurrent disorders. As well, New Dawn accepts women who are prescribed approved medications that remain controversial and can complicate women’s access to services.
The capacity for long-term care and supports is unique and critical: effectively addressing the concurrent issues underpinning women’s addiction requires more than 30 – 90 days. Women can access service and care based on their actual needs, and remain in each of our homes for up 18 months, rather than a predetermined program length.
We provide structured programs in safe, comfortable, and home-like environments. We emphasize individual empowerment and accountability.
Within the program at New Dawn, our residents are introduced to The Women’s Way Through the 12 Steps, as well as a variety of self-help programs.
