Who We Help
We have women from all walks of life come through our doors. Many have been using drugs or alcohol and understand they’ve become dependent on them. A large majority also come to us for high-quality psychiatric care to deal with serious stress, depression, anxiety, or trauma. All of our clients have experienced some professional success in their life and are highly motivated to work with qualified professionals to get their lives back on track.
How We Can Help
Our experienced health professionals offer a number of evidence-based therapies such as 24-hour medical withdrawal support (“detox”), psychiatric care, psychological care, family counselling, and post-treatment coaching. With the client front and centre during our planning process, we work together to make sure every issue a client is struggling with gets addressed while they are with us.
Medical Withdrawal
Our withdrawal management program means you don’t need to be abstinent before entering treatment. Our trained medical personnel are on-site 24/7 providing intensive support during withdrawal from alcohol or drugs.
Alcohol & Drug Treatments
We believe it is not simply enough to treat ‘addiction’. We approach problem drinking and drug use as a symptom of deeper issues, rather than the cause of them. Our clients can expect to receive the individualized help they need to deal with those underlying issues.
Occupational Trauma
Designed for women requiring intensive therapy for trauma(s) sustained on the job as first responders, military personnel, and veterans. By providing multiple 1-on-1 assessments and sessions as well as the latest in PTSD treatments, we have helped hundreds of professionals overcome their trauma.
Family Services
Sending clients back to the same family dynamic can blunt the positive effects of their treatment. Our Family Services and family phone support helps family members learn how to support their loved one after treatment as well as how to support themselves.
Location & Facility
You’ll find us on BC’s Sunshine Coast surrounded by snow-capped mountains, beautiful beaches and miles of uninhabited wilderness, despite the fact we are a short, 25-minute flight north from Vancouver.
Our Commitment to Ethical Business
We’re a B Corp. In an industry rife with fraud and secrecy, we wanted to prove we are who we say we are. As a Certified B Corp, we are transparent about our staffing practices, finances, compensation, and environmental practices.

Thank you for the review, Amy. The staff will appreciate your thoughtful and kind words. If you need anything, we're always here to support you. Just call. 
I highly recommend Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic. I attended for trauma, depression, grief and anxiety and am feeling as though I have the tools to live a more meaningful, productive life with intention. I was pleased that this facility catered to those seeking help for issues that did not encompass addiction. I felt heard, comfortable, safe, inspired and as though I was working with professionals who enjoyed their jobs and wanted to be there. The staff were all truly incredible. There’s a nurse on staff 24/7 for any issues you may have. I was always met with kindness and genuine concern for my journey and well-being. The program was truly a thorough approach in that so many aspects of your life were examined and supported. Some services were offered only if requested or deemed medically necessary. Nutritionist appts for example, were by request and I found to be valuable for my journey. I find that since everything is taken care of for you (ie: meals are cooked, transportation, scheduling is covered, medications are available on site, etc) that all you have to do is work on yourself and this environment is so supportive to do it in. The main facility where you sleep at night has private suites with a kitchen and living room. It is also directly across the street from the beach. I feel as though so much thought, effort and attention has gone into to every single detail of the client experience that it blows my mind that anyone could have a less than wonderful experience here. If I ever need recalibrating, I know exactly where I will be going back to. I feel the value you get for the cost is worth the expense. This organization clearly takes care of their staff and is very transparent about how they do business. My only criticisms were minor (ie: make a specific class longer for example). Do your research, ask questions about what is most important to you in your own treatment stay. Only you can decide which facility is best for you. GSWC was exceptional in my opinion.

Thank you for the really lovely review, Lindsay. We've shared it with staff already and they are so appreciative of your kind words. A big priority for our operations teams is to take care of everything day-to-day as best possible so that all clients have to do is focus on taking care of themselves and their treatment, so it's really great to hear that you felt you were able to do that. Take care and please reach out if you need support in the next few months or even years from now. 
I am very grateful for the life changing 6 weeks I spent at GSWC prioritizing sobriety and my mental health, well worth it! The healthcare team and staff go above and beyond to customize the program to your needs and really take the time to listen in a welcoming and non-judgemental manner. They go the extra mile to make your healing journey the best it can be.

Thank you for the kind words, Ginnette. It's really great to hear about your experience after you have been home for some time. The staff will be really happy to hear. We hope you're post-treatment planning has been proving helpful and that the alumni services and meetings are useful to you. If you need additional support at anytime, just let the alumni team know. 
Very good. Well worth it and chill. Nurses and support staff really listen to your needs and take them into account. You never feel judge here no matter the reason you came. Also Powell River is really nice place to take time in for yourself. 😎👍

Thank you for the kind review, Paige. We try very hard to make every client feel welcomed and safe while they are with us in very tough life moments. Our team will appreciate knowing their efforts are noticed and working. If you need anything in future, you know how to get in touch with our alumni team. 
To anyone considering going here - DO IT! Don't think about, just do it. It will save your life.
Six weeks ago I was broken and addicted. I felt I was beyond help but at my family's insistence I went. I felt sick thinking about the amount of money we were spending for a stay here. Today I have zero regrets and would spend it again. There are just to many support staff to name (psychiatrist, GP, NP, nurses, front end staff, different types of therapies, counsellors, workshop facilitators) but I can see where the money goes and it is worth every penny! Such beautiful surroundings too. Thank you GSWC for saving my life, and teaching me the tools I need to stay sober and mentally healthy. It wasn't always easy - but I am eternally grateful - words can never express how much.
A very special shout out for House Manager Kristi, who first picked me up at the airport on the darkest day of my life, treated me with nothing but respect and kindness and who dropped me off at the ferry at the end of my treatment feeling like I had climbed a mountain and had the clearest, most beautiful view.

Thank you for the kindest words, Theresa. It is absolutely amazing to hear how much our programs and services helped you. We can't wait to share with the rest of staff. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your journey to better health and an improved life. We are always here for support if you need us. 
This place has changed me and my life. The staff, doctors and nurses are all amazing and take fantastic care of you. Not only is the property beautiful but the private suites are cozy and clean. The program has a mix of different therapeutic modalities that are well thought out and useful. This place will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you for the kind review, Hannah. We are here if you need any support down the road. 
This facility is an absolute goldmine. The gratitude, admiration and respect that I have developed for the GSWC is something that words quite simply fail to describe, but I will try my best! The staff are remarkable, so much so that they have helped me regain some faith in healthcare; a tall order and impressive achievement for a person such as myself who has been let down countless times by a very broken medical system. From the doctors, to the nurses, the counsellors, and everyone in between, the compassion, knowledge, and skill displayed by each worker has been extraordinary. The place is beautiful, not only in terms of location, but also in spirit. They truly embody the values that they advertise. The positive impact this clinic has had on my wellbeing mentally, emotionally, and physically is astounding. I came here with absolutely zero hope, and next to no understanding of myself or how to even start repairing a life that I had destroyed with my actions. I am now engaging in healthy hobbies, behaviours, and choices, something I have not been able to do since I was a child. I have been rediscovering myself and feel like I have grown years in just a few weeks. Without the tools and resources provided through this diverse and insightful program, I would still be drowning in my misery, or possibly even dead. The fantastic food here helped me to leave with more healthy weight off of my shoulders. I feel now as though I can overcome life’s challenges and grow in spite of them. I have been given an opportunity to start living, instead of just surviving. GSWC has been a life-changer, as well as a life-saver, both figuratively and literally. I am eternally grateful for everything this clinic has to offer and everyone involved in making it such a beautiful, helpful, and effective space in which to begin my healing journey. I cannot recommend GSWC enough. From the bottom of my heart and the deepest depths of my soul, thank you!
Georgia Strait Women's Clinic helped me develop valuable coping skills, self-awareness, and tools for maintaining my wellness throughout my life. The entire team is so dedicated, understanding, and supportive. Though the journey wasn't always easy, the supportive environment created by the women and staff helped me work through challenges and make significant progress. I particularly appreciated the post-treatment planning support, which helped me feel more confident about transitioning back to daily life.
The investment in yourself is worthwhile and will serve you well beyond your stay. GSWC is special because of its variety of therapeutic approaches, structured daily schedules that promote routine and stability, and its beautiful, peaceful location conducive to healing. There is a strong emphasis on developing practical life skills and thoughtful integration of various wellness activities. The therapists are highly skilled, and the small group sizes ensure personalized attention and support.
After spending 50 days at Georgia Strait Women's Clinic, I can honestly say this experience has been transformative.

Today I’m 4 years clean and sober and
The Georgia Strait literally helped save my life , when I arrived their I was so broken physically,mentally ,emotionally , and my untreated mental health , alcoholism and substance use had taken me to a place that was worse than I ever thought possible .
My traumas, mental health and addictions had taken a tole on me in every way and I wasn’t sure their was any possible way to heal and come back and heal from all that I had endured and exposed myself to this time around
I have gotten clean several times in the past but always get complacent with my recovery and relapse as iv never really truly healed from any of my past deep rooted trauma and other issues
Iv used substances for most of my life and didn’t think it was gonna be possible to heal and get clean after ending up homeless and suffering from more traumas and toxic people and situations on top of living in abusive situations most of my childhood and trying to numb all the pain for most of my life
The GSWC helped show me ,educate me and allowed me to learn so much and help give me the tools for me to beable to heal in a way I never thought possible which allowed me to forgive myself ,they walked along side me on this journey in such a gentle supportive way
The staff who work their are very special and unique individuals who all have very special qualities in different ways which was absolutely incredible as I was able to face and heal from things I never thought possible and also get a better understanding of me .
If your considering going to the GSWC I highly recommend going they’re they helped save my life and maybe they can help you save yours too .
Once last thing after your finished their they have an amazing Illumni service that still continues on with you for support and groups and coaching even 4 years later I still reach out to them and attend their programs being offered when I need them .
Melanie and all the incredible staff their I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️🤗🙏🏽

My time and experience and Georgia strait helped me get my life back on track to where I wanted to be. Being only 19 when I went, it was pretty hard decision to make and a little bit scary. I was choosing between two places but after a few phone calls with Richard on the nursing staff, I could tell the people there cared more about you, instead of hoping to make money off of you. Richard’s kindness and support made it so easy for me to stop being so worried and I couldn’t be happier he picked up the phone the first couple times. He even followed up when I forgot to reach out, so I would keep my spot. Georgia Strait has ended up being one of the best decisions over ever made, I can’t thank the staff enough. If you want to go somewhere they see you as a person instead of just a patient, please go here, they truly do care and I haven’t regretted it for a single day.
GSWC just may have saved my life…I was suffering from severe PTSD and trauma due to an unexpected illness and amputation. It’s a process and you have to be willing to put in the work, but man, worth it! The staff is very approachable and honestly I think about many of them daily! The friends I have made will be lifelong….thank you from the bottom of my heart GSWC 💔❤️🩹 also the alumni program has me feeling safe and cared for.
My overall experience was so great! The staff were all very helpful and caring. Accommodations were very comfortable. The food was fresh, healthy and prepared daily. The program itself was easy to follow yet tailored to my specific needs.

The friends I have made will be lifelong….thank you from the bottom of my heart GSWC 💔❤️🩹 also the alumni program has me feeling safe and cared for.
