The National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (NNADAP) supports Musqueam members with their substance use and help them get connected to the supports they need.
There are two NNADAP workers who offer addiction support through one-on-one, family, and/or group counselling. NNADAP workers connect members with appropriate professionals and resources, including referrals to detox, recovery homes and treatment centres. If a client enters treatment, NNADAP workers continue to support them as they work to maintain sobriety after returning home.
Musqueam NNADAP workers are available seven days a week, including nights and weekends.
