The building that houses the Peigan Prevention Counselling Services is a new multi-use facility, built as much as a place for social gathering as for drug and alcohol treatment.

As such, it reflects the whole philosophy of the program and the people who run

it - that drug abuse is a community as well as an individual problem and must be treated jointly by individuals, families, friends and community agencies.

"Our customs are based on very community-minded traditions," said Peter Strikes With A Gun, director of the program.
