Caribbean Haven temporarily halts women’s residential programme
Substance abuse treatment and recovery centre Caribbean Haven Residential Centre has temporarily closed its residential programme for women, leading to concerns over a critical gap in care for those in need.
Caribbean Haven opened in Breakers in 2000 to provide non-medical withdrawal management and residential treatment for people with substance use disorders. It is operated by the Department of Counselling Services under the Ministry of Health, Environment and Sustainability, and a dedicated six-bed women’s unit opened in 2008.
Before Caribbean Haven opened, people with substance misuse issues were sent for treatment overseas, but it was decided that more effective long-term care could be provided in an environment closer to home. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
