Last Update: July 18, 2026
Latest change: The BC treatment-centres content was substantially revised with updated centres, access details, and contact information for First Nations and Inuit services.
BC treatment centres directory revised
The Substance use treatment centres for First Nations and Inuit source now presents a revised BC treatment-centres directory instead of the older static centre list. The updated content adds and renames centres, refreshes location descriptions, and changes multiple contact details and web links. Centre-level access information is also more specific now, including centre-by-centre age ranges, gender access, accepted clients, and program types. The page now points users to the treatment-centre info sheet, adult referral application package, and locations map for BC services.
