The Mark Amy Treatment Centre (MATC) delivers recovery-oriented addiction treatment and wellness programming through an integrated model of community based hybrid (day program/virtual addiction treatment), virtual, outpatient, and land-based services. As a federally funded addiction treatment provider, MATC increases access to care for individuals experiencing substance use challenges by providing flexible treatment options that reduce barriers related to geography, caregiving responsibilities, transportation, housing instability, and involvement with the justice system.

​

MATC's programming combines Indigenous cultural teachings and healing practices with evidence-informed therapeutic approaches to support participants in achieving sustainable recovery and improved overall wellness. Services are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and individualized to address the unique strengths, needs, and goals of each participant. Programming focuses on building recovery capital through life skills development, relapse prevention, emotional wellness, cultural connection, healthy relationships, and community integration.

​

MATC supports individuals in moving toward greater independence, stability, and quality of life while strengthening connections to family, culture, employment, education, housing, and community supports. Through a continuum of care approach, participants are connected to ongoing recovery resources and community services that promote long-term recovery outcomes beyond program completion.

​

By expanding access to treatment in underserved and rural communities, MATC helps address service gaps while contributing to broader system outcomes, including reduced reliance on emergency health services, acute care, crisis response systems, and justice interventions. The program supports healthier individuals, stronger families, and more resilient communities through accessible, culturally grounded, and recovery-focused care.
