Throughout the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, there are many different First Nations and Inuit peoples living all over. Unfortunately, as in any other community, drugs and alcohol can become issues for some, and it can be difficult to find help and especially receive help quickly. In the province, there are some programs specially available to help First Nations living in the area, which provide assessment services, detox programs, holistic treatment, and medical detox all within an out-patient and residential setup for addicts. First nations programs are typically structured around First Nations practices and techniques for healing a person physically and mentally. As drug and alcohol addiction will damage a person physically and mentally, it is important that they are given every opportunity to heal and improve their life once again. Typically, these types of programs are low-cost and no-cost treatment centers, but there are some private drug rehab centers located in the province. These types of programs for First Nations can be very successful, as they are still connected with their heritage and people, who can help them through their substance abuse problems.
