On LÁU,WELNEW, meaning “place of refuge,” Homewood Ravensview helps clients step away from daily stressors for private inpatient care. Part of Homewood Health’s 140-year legacy, Ravensview provides medically led treatment for adults, young adults, first responders, military personnel, and veterans with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, gambling disorder, chronic pain, and co-occurring concerns. Minutes from Victoria, British Columbia, the 28-acre campus offers 180-degree views of the surrounding forest, mountains, and ocean.

Address Complex Needs with Clinical Support

Treatment begins with an in-depth 1-on-1 assessment, with onsite withdrawal management and detox available when needed. Clients receive 2 weekly individual sessions and frequent group therapy, supported by cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), expressive therapies, and recreation. Targeted care can also address gambling disorder, chronic pain with related mental health concerns, and treatment-resistant depression, with intranasal pharmacological treatment available when medically recommended.

Find Rhythm in a Rainforest Setting

Daily life at Ravensview gives clients space to move, reflect, and reconnect with nature. Mornings might begin with chef-prepared meals and treetop views in the dining room, followed by therapy and quiet reflection along forested walking trails or in the meditation labyrinth. Between sessions, clients can stretch, work out, create art and music, garden, or play pickleball and tennis before unwinding in comfortable lounges or private and semi-private ensuite rooms.

Carry Recovery Into Daily Life

Upon completing inpatient treatment, clients receive 1 year of access to Homewood Ravensview’s Recovery Management Program. This support helps clients build confidence, manage transitions, and keep practicing recovery skills at home, work, and in relationships. The program includes:

  • Structured plans for skill-building, reconnection, and sustained recovery
  • Recovery management group counselling and support services available across Canada
  • Membership in an alumni program with recovery-focused community, events, and resources
  • Optional added services, including 1-on-1 counselling, step-down programming, and substance use monitoring

Testimonial
I’ve been to 3 other treatment centres and this one is the best one I’ve been to. The rooms are beautiful, and the beds are comfy. The staff are caring and friendly, the food is decent, and I really think I’ve learned a lot about myself and have hope for my future now and sobriety. Bring hiking boots as the park and trails are beautiful. Would reccomend for anyone needing help with trauma, ptsd, addictions, mental health. Thank you ravensview.

Track Progress with Measurement-Based Care
Track Progress with Measurement-Based Care
Homewood Touchpoint gives clients and clinicians a clear way to track symptoms, goals, and treatment response during care. Clients complete brief measures at intake and throughout treatment, while the team reviews up-to-date results and adjusts care based on progress. This shared process uses evidence instead of guesswork to keep treatment focused on what is helping.
Connect with Others Who Serve
Connect with Others Who Serve
Ravensview’s Guardians Program serves first responders, military personnel, and veterans facing mental health, addiction, trauma, or co-occurring concerns. Clients meet in mixed groups and peer-based groups, giving them space to discuss service-related stress and traumatic events with others who understand similar roles, responsibilities, pressures, and lived experiences from service work.
Build Stability in Early Adulthood
Build Stability in Early Adulthood
Ravensview’s My Path Program treats young adults ages 19–25 with mental health, addiction, trauma, or co-occurring concerns. Care reflects the major changes that can shape this life stage, including identity, relationships, sexuality, self-esteem, social pressure, and the move into adulthood. Treatment combines structure, clinical care, and practical skill-building for daily life.
Engage with Local Cultural Knowledge
Engage with Local Cultural Knowledge
Ravensview works with the W̱SÁNEĆ nations to respect local cultural knowledge and traditional ways of being. A Cultural Knowledge Keeper can share Coast Salish teachings and lead activities such as cedar-weaving, beading, and drum-making. These experiences offer another way to practice mindfulness, connection, and spiritual grounding during treatment and healing.
