About Kinghaven Peardonville House Society:

Kinghaven Treatment Centre was established in 1971 as MSA Halfway House.

Over the past 45 years it has evolved into one of the country's premier intensive residential treatment centres having served in excess of 28,000 adult men who present with problematic use of mood-altering substances.

Located in the tranquil Fraser Valley of British Columbia, our campus also includes the new George Schmidt Centre, a 31 unit second-stage housing facility.

Peardonville House Treatment Centre was founded in 1987 as an adult women's treatment facility to serve the ever increasing demand of services for women in addiction.

In 1990, at the request of the provincial government, the "Moms and Kids" program was launched to allow women struggling with addiction to bring their under-school-age children to treatment with them and have them share in the residential recovery experience.
