A new addictions recovery program organized by Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation, Roots to Recovery, looks to fill a gap in existing services.
Alexis Fox, a community justice coordinator at the First Nation, said there aren’t a lot of post-treatment services available in the Northwest Territories.
“The GNWT will ship people down south, send them to treatment, and then just kind-of stick them back in the community and hope for the best,” said Fox.
“We’ve heard for a long time at the band level that that’s not working. It’s very evident when you’re out in the community that people need more than that.”
