The Maskêkosihk Recovery Community takes on a unique and effective approach to treating wellness and helping with addictions. It will provide comprehensive services that embody the Nation’s cultures, ceremony, identity, family, and community connections.
The Recovery communities offer live-in treatment at no cost to the clients or their families. Individuals can stay for up to one year as they address their substance use and build holistic wellness, develop healthy habits and social skills, and receive employment training and other supports necessary for long-term recovery. Supports are tailored to the individual and include cultural integration to help an individual heal and reconnect with their community.
