Benbowopka Treatment Centre
ENDAYAAN ENDAZHI-TAKOOKIIYAAN
This is the place where you, and your family take your first steps, together.
In partnership with Benbowopka Treatment Center Niigaaniin received Federal funding to construct our permanent land-based detox site in Blind River. Through our partnership with Benbowopka Treatment Center, we have been able to increase the cycle length from 28 days to 50 days cycles for those coming from Land-based detox.
In Partnership with:
Twelve yurts, a communal area with kitchen and bathrooms and a central location for a fire arbour and ceremony area.
The detox camp is the first step for our Community Members who are starting their healing journey from substance use disorder. We are in the process of establishing the first land-based alcohol detox site. Our consulting medical practitioners feel this is an attainable goal.
Pre-treatment & Detox Support for all NSTC Treatment Programs
As each NSTC Community decides their approach to managing the addiction and mental health crisis Kinoomaagewin will be there to support those efforts by creating flexible program entry points to ensure a continuum of care exists for all Community Members.
Aftercare Supports for all NSTC Treatment Programs
We know Community Members may want to complete treatment outside of their home community. Community Members may still seek treatment in other areas of the province, regardless of the treatment center Kinoomaagewin can provide residential aftercare.
