Aurora Centre
Located in Vancouver at BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre, the Aurora Centre has been providing addiction treatment services to women for over thirty years.
Aurora is the largest women’s-only treatment facility in B.C. providing both residential and day treatment services with twenty-nine beds and space for ten people in the day treatment program. We also conduct research on women and addictions and take a leadership role in promoting improved addiction services to women in B.C.
If you choose the Aurora Centre, you can count on a treatment experience provided within an atmosphere of safety, trust, and respect. Our programs are grounded in the belief that with the assistance of expert, caring professionals, and the mutual support of fellow participants, women can and do recover from the harms associated with misuse of alcohol and other drugs. We help women learn healthier ways of living, how to increase their self-esteem, and to discover the power within themselves to change their lives for the better.
We know our treatment works: Studies conducted three to six months post-treatment consistently show that over 90 per cent of former clients contacted report either complete abstinence, or abstinence following a brief relapse. As well, our clients report improved physical and emotional health, and improved relationships, vocational status and spiritual awareness.
We pride ourselves on providing the best in care to women who have substance use problems, and strive to continually evaluate and improve our services based on what clients tell us works, as well as what the latest research suggests as best practice.
If you are thinking about coming to the Aurora Centre for treatment, it is important that you know we are a tobacco-free facility. This means no use of tobacco products is permitted on the Aurora Centre property, and no visible display of tobacco products including paraphernalia. In addition, it means you will be expected to be abstinent from tobacco for the duration of your treatment, either in our residential or our day program.
Information sheets for Referral Agents and Health Professionals, prospective clients and family members and friends are available on request. Please contact aurora@cw.bc.ca or phone 604 875 2032.
