Manitoba Substance Use and Addictions Awareness Week | Nov 24-30, 2024
Every year, Manitoba Substance Use and Addictions Awareness Week provides an opportunity for Manitobans from all walks of life to engage in meaningful discussions and explore solutions for addressing the harms caused by substance use and addictions.
Manitoba Substance Use and Addictions Awareness Week runs from Nov. 24-30, and the theme for 2024 is Forging Connections.
The theme acknowledges the power of working together and bringing different experiences, ideas, and opinions to address the challenges of substance use health.
It also challenges us to look for opportunities to collaborate with partners, communities and individuals to develop connections, identify common ground and work together to find effective solutions and actions we can all support.
Within Prairie Mountain Health (PMH), several addiction services are offered. They include Community-based Counselling, Family Programs, School Based Services, Youth Services, Education and Training, Non-Residential Treatment Programs, RE/ACT Program, In House Treatment Programs, MOST Clinic, RAAM Clinics, Impaired Driver’s Program, and Auricular Acupuncture. Addictions Services has 9 Community Office locations within Prairie Mountain Health and 2 In-House Treatment Centres.
How to Access Our Services:
Individuals wanting to attend community-based or in-house treatment programs must first meet with a Community Addictions Worker to complete the intake and assessment process. Information is gathered to determine the level of involvement with substance use and gambling, and information is provided for services available and recommended.
Currently, in the Brandon-Parkwood Community Office, intake services are available by phone appointments during the following times: Monday and Wednesday, 9 am to 4 pm and Friday, 9 am to noon. In-person drop-in intake appointments occur at 9:30 am on Fridays. In all other locations (including Dauphin, Swan River, Virden, Rossburn, and Minnedosa), intake services are assigned to the next available counsellor and are scheduled appointments.
Should the client decide they are interested in accessing one of the in-house treatment programs, the community addictions worker will make the referral to the program.
