Federal funding for drug treatment programs

The federal government is providing funding to support two new substance abuse treatment programs based out of the University of Saskatchewan. One program is an intervention workshop offered to communities free-of-charge focused on the healing journeys of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit women as they were treated for drug abuse. The second program is a province-wide initiative for all Saskatchewan residents, with people invited to share how Aboriginal culture has helped them on their journey healing from addictions. Funding for the two projects comes from the federal government through the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health Drug Treatment Funding Program.
