In 1991, fueled by a shared vision and sheer determination, Billy and Kim poured their hard-earned savings - barely enough for half a month's rent - into opening the doors of Miller House. This unassuming dwelling in Coquitlam became the birthplace of InnerVisions, the very ground where their dream of providing a safe haven for those battling addiction started to blossom.
The summer of 2015 marked a significant turning point. InnerVisions expanded its reach with the construction of a state-of-the-art facility in Maple Ridge. The program, with its deep roots in Coquitlam, found a new and expanded home, ready to welcome even more individuals seeking recovery.
Today, Miller House stands as a testament to the enduring power of that initial vision. Within its walls, a legacy of transformation continues. Residents find not only a safe space but also a supportive community and a range of amenities designed to foster healing and growth. An industrial kitchen serves as the heart of the house, nourishing both body and soul. A spacious group therapy room provides a sanctuary for shared experiences and mutual support. Inviting common areas encourage connection and camaraderie, while staff offices ensure that residents receive the guidance and care they need. And in the large dining room, meals become more than just sustenance - they are moments of shared connection and celebration of the journey towards recovery.
Prairie House opened in Port Coquitlam as InnerVisions’ second treatment centre. Following the structure of the original Miller House, Prairie quickly became a well-oiled recovery machine. It has been the flagship of all men’s drug and alcohol treatment at InnerVisions for over a decade.
After years of helping men get sober, Kim and Billy felt they needed to bring the InnerVisions’ model of recovery to women as well. Together they fought hard to open a women’s treatment centre, and finally in 2002 their efforts came to fruition when Hannah House opened its doors.
