The new recovery centre will have programming that includes ways of healing that draw on Indigenous culture and traditions.
A First Nation located near Calgary is next in line to receive an addiction treatment facility, after the signing of a memorandum of understanding.
Williams acknowledged that while the impacts of drug poisoning and addiction have been felt province-wide, Indigenous communities have been hit particularly hard. “The whole addictions and opioid crisis really affects one’s spirit,” Jodi Two Guns, Tsuut’ina’s executive director of wellness, said. “That’s the main thing: that we bring them back to the land and then we call upon our own spiritual leaders and ceremonies, ways of life to allow our clients to have that way of healing as well.“So it will be like a hybrid treatment centre, where we have the Western ways as well as our own traditional ways.
