You think you can't make it without that fancy treatment program, eh?I get you; I was there, too, thinking that if I wasn't in a high-end program, I wasn't truly recovering. But let me spill some truth:As we know, the cultural disconnect is real. Many of these programs don't fully understand or integrate Indigenous ways of healing. This isn't just about stopping substance use; it's about reconnecting to our roots and traditions.The constant tracking can make you obsess over the wrong things. It's easy to get fixated on things like "clean time" and forget that recovery is a long-term journey, not just a milestone to reach.They can be expensive and inaccessible. Why put yourself in financial hardship when there are community-based and culturally sensitive options available? If you would like to get started for free, click <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://portal.owlpractice.ca/iwtscanada/booking">here</a> to schedule a “free” initial consultation.I've shifted my focus to a more holistic and culturally connected way of healing, like attending talking circles, getting back into traditional practices, and spending time learning from elders. Don't hesitate to try something that resonates more closely with your identity. If you need some tips or advice, hit me up in a message. We recover better when we recover together.

The focus is on a holistic, culturally connected approach to healing, incorporating Indigenous practices, traditional practices, and elder learning.
