The Alberta model is being built on the belief that everyone has a right to be supported in their recovery and face as few barriers as possible.
What if there was a way to tackle addiction and mental health issues that didn't just focus on the symptoms but aimed to improve overall quality of life? Alberta's unique model does just that. In this episode of 'Promising Practices', Premier Jason Caney takes us through Alberta’s person-centred approach to mental health and addiction care, which is reshaping lives and communities. Alberta's strategy goes beyond traditional methods, addressing all facets of health and wellness to support balance and healing.
This isn't just about treating addiction; it's about creating a supportive environment where individuals can thrive. The episode highlights the province's commitment to immediate, accessible treatment with no waitlists, ensuring help is available when it's needed most. With new treatment beds being built in recovery communities and the expansion of drug treatment courts to rural areas, Alberta is making strides in providing comprehensive care.
You'll also hear about the virtual opioid dependency program, offering essential information and support for those battling addiction. Plus, there's a focus on culturally sensitive solutions like peer-supported Indigenous recovery housing. This episode is packed with insights into how Alberta is fostering a community-based recovery system that brings together families, allies, and workplaces to build a robust support network.
Whether you're interested in mental health advocacy, policy-making, or seeking inspiration for your own journey, this episode offers a deep dive into Alberta's transformative approach.
