The Bio-Psycho-Social Module, deals with

the problems of addictions how it affects the

person Biological, Social and Psychologically.

The Cultural Module, suggests possible

solutions to the problems, based on the

Medicine Wheel and Spirituality.

The Trauma Module, provides a pro-active

plan to work out the problems, based on

the Red Road Therapy and Spirituality.

The Life-skills Module, prepares our participants

with job search skills and/or career exploration

in today's job market.

TREATMENT APPROACH:

The NWHC offers affective-based, culturally appropriate programming for Aboriginal People struggling with multi-addictions. Emphasis is on empowering the participants to process past abuse issues that serve as catalysts for substance abuse. This is accomplished primarily within the protection of the Sacred Circle.

Our language keeps us strong. Our culture is our healing. Our Elders bring us the wisdom to keep it all together
