Isuarsivik has been delivering quality and culturally sensitive addictions services to Nunavimmiut for more than 20 years. We offer 5 gender-specific cycles throughout the year. It currently has a capacity of 9 clients per cycle. A specialized addiction counsellor supervises the treatment cycles.Program components include individual and group counselling sessions, education on addiction and related behaviours, healing from unresolved trauma and grief, and spiritual and cultural awareness. The program and material are available in Inuktitut. Activities include outings on the land for hunting, fishing and berry picking, as well as cultural activities such as sewing, beading, carpentry, and more. Clients attend AA meetings three times a week and are offered the option to go to church on Sundays. They visit elders regularly and receive presentations from some partners of Isuarsivik: DYP, CLSC and KRPF.
