Carrier Sekani breaks ground on detox and healing centre
Cheslatta Chief Carrier Sekani Family Services’ board president Corrina Leween speaks at the Tachick Lake ground breaking ceremony for a new detox and healing centre.
The facility will provide a 10-bed medical detox program and a 36-bed, year-round residential treatment program that uses both First Nations’ traditional healing and cultural components and Western treatment modalities. “The Healing Centre will provide health and treatment based on sound practises including cultural, spiritual, social and science-based medical treatments,” said Warner Adam, CEO of Carrier Sekani Family Services.
“For this reason, it is important that our residential treatment centre, and the healing activities our program does in communities, is based on the land,” Warner continued. “The location of our treatment centre is therefore vitally important to our program’s structure.”
