New addictions recovery centre opens in Gunn, AB
The Government of Alberta has opened a new recovery treatment centre for those suffering from addiction in Gunn, Alta., and the facility officially welcomed its first clients on July 29.
The Lakeview Recovery Community has 75 designated treatment beds on site and is expected to support up to 300 people per year on their journey to recovery.
“The grand opening of Lakeview Recovery Community represents a significant step forward in providing essential recovery services to those in need,” says Lindsey Hague, executive director of the Lakeview Recovery Community. “Our facility is designed to offer a safe, supportive and therapeutic environment where residents receive individualized care to achieve lasting recovery. We are honoured to be part of this pioneering initiative and look forward to making a meaningful impact on the lives of our residents.”
Provincial officials say these facilities are a part of the Alberta Recovery Model which provides a continuum of care to those suffering from addiction including prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery. A main focus of the model is to increase treatment capacity, which officials say has been addressed through the funding of more than 10,000 new treatment spaces since 2019.
