Ka-Na-Chi-Hih is a 6 bed, 12-week residential treatment program for individuals with polysubstance use and mental health challenges. The program serves First Nations, rotating male and female intakes, regardless of gender identity, from across Canada. The programming is holistic in nature as we follow the medicine wheel as a guide in achieving physical, mental, social, and spiritual goals and needs. The program incorporates traditional modes of practice during the 12-week stay, elders attend the lodge to provide knowledge, skills, and teachings. Some common examples of traditional programming include drum making, ribbon skirt/dress shirt making, smudges, sharing circles, sweat lodges, and much more. Management and staff are all trained to follow a strengths-based, trauma-informed, harm reduction approach while being a mentor to our residents. This means to help the residents to understand their internal and external strengths, safe-decision making that creates a healthy and safe environment, and adapting the healing lodge rules to be flexible to resident’s traumas and needs while they heal during their 12-week stay.
