Treatment

The Treatment Action Plan supports innovative and effective approaches to treating and rehabilitating those with illicit drug addiction who pose a risk to themselves and the community.

This Plan will promote collaboration among governments and support agencies to increase access to drug treatment services.  It will:

• enhance treatment and support for First Nations and Inuit;
• provide treatment programs for young offenders with drug-related problems;
• enable the RCMP to refer youth with drug-related problems to treatment programs; and
• support research on new treatment models.

The Government of Canada has committed approximately $100 million in new funding over the five years to implement the Treatment Action Plan. This funding will bolster existing treatment efforts.
