Government Commits to Hearing Concerns and Expanding Access to Treatment and Recovery

The Government of Alberta announced new support for treatment and recovery by increasing publicly funded addiction spaces. An additional 4,000 addiction treatment beds and spaces will be created to provide outpatient services and medically assisted detox spaces. This initiative is part of the $140-million commitment to addiction and mental health care made by the government in its election platform. The announcement is available to watch here. The government is also collecting feedback on the Supervised Consumption Site in Medicine Hat. You can add your voice to the conversation by taking the survey.
