AADAC has opened a new youth residential detoxification and stabilization program in Grande Prairie, expanding the Commission’s existing range of services for young Albertans.

With this addition in Grande Prairie, which includes four beds, AADAC now operates a total of 61 residential detoxification beds for youth.

AADAC will officially launch a new provincial youth residential detoxification and stabilization program in Grande Prairie on June 25.

AADAC opened a four-bed youth residential detoxification and stabilization program in the Grande Prairie area on March 17. The facility is located in Clairmont.

The opening of this program builds on AADAC’s commitment to provide a continuum of services for Alberta’s youth and families. With this addition, AADAC now operates a total of 61 residential beds for youth throughout the province.

The sixth annual awards were presented to an individual, as well as a business and non-profit group that made a significant impact in the area of tobacco prevention, cessation, reduction or protection from second-hand smoke during the past year. In addition, a $2,500 youth scholarship and youth recognition award honoured Albertans under the age of 18 who made positive contributions to tobacco reduction in their community.

To honour the legacy of Barb Tarbox, AADAC annually recognizes individuals, youth, businesses and non-profit groups that make significant contributions in the area of tobacco prevention, cessation, reduction or protection from second-hand smoke in Alberta.
