About this service
A first-stage transition house for women and their children escaping abuse which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Staff provides emotional support, referrals and resource information, advocacy, court accompaniment, parenting support and on-site non-medical detoxification. An alcohol and drug therapist is available twice weekly for appointments.
A 16-step support group (a feminist alternative to AA & NA) is available on site. Length of stay ranges from 30-90 days. Women are not required to be abstinent, but must not use alcohol and/or drugs on site. Women on methadone are welcome and staff will dispense carries. In some cases you can contact the housing option directly, but we encourage you to contact Atira first and we can help find the best fit for your unique situation.
