About Victoria Wellness
Victoria Wellness approaches addiction and mental health with a broad range of treatment tools, including 12-Step and non-12-Step modalities. They use non-traditional and holistic methods too, like dolphin neurostim, ketamine assisted therapy, and neurofeedback. Each branch of clients’ treatment plan is wholly catered to individual needs, using input from Victoria Wellness’ clinical staff and clients’ history with mental health, addiction, or trauma. A combination of approaches provides clients with the most relevant, comprehensive care possible, ultimately leading to recovery that lasts.
Victoria Wellness Residential Mental Health Centre has a highly educated and qualified team of staff. Their psychiatrist and psychologist operate with empathy and professionalism, ensuring that clients’ needs are met and that each unique treatment plan sounds exciting. They have several masters-level psychotherapists, a social worker, addiction counsellors, 2 mental health nurses, and a roster of recovery coaches on their client support staff. With a full staff ready to help at every step of the way, stays at Victoria Wellness Centre are wholly catered to clients and their recovery. All psychotherapy sessions, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), are run by a registered therapist. Victoria Wellness’ individual sessions are led by a psychotherapist, who will act as clients’ primary therapist throughout their treatment process.
Victoria Wellness focuses on building lasting skills that help clients handle mental health issues long after treatment. One of these habits and skills includes physical activity, which they prioritize in the afternoons. Some of their fun activities include kayaking, hiking, time in the gym, basketball, and tennis. Evenings at Victoria Wellness have additional therapeutic sessions, which build upon morning treatments to pave the best path to success. Throughout clients’ stay, they’ll also enjoy nutritious meals catered to the dietary needs or restrictions they may have.
Victoria Wellness Centre prioritizes fun onsite and offsite. On-site, clients will enjoy a pristine pool, calming labyrinth, Reiki sessions, fishing and boating, and paddle boards. Victoria Wellness’ lake-side location provides plenty of relaxing, fun activities to enjoy throughout clients’ stay. Off-site, clients take trips to ski mountains, hiking trails, golf courses, and a nearby farm. All their fun activities work to promote the idea and fact that sober living can be enjoyable–more so than the brief pleasure that addictive substances provide.
