introduction

Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselling Association (NADACA) has provided addiction services in Mi’kmaw First Nations communities since 1971.

NADACA programming is designed to deal with all aspects of substance abuse, i.e. alcohol abuse, illicit drug abuse, prescription drug abuse and solvent abuse. Our mandate is to provide accredited certified indigenous addictions prevention, education, outreach, community and in-patient wellness programming to the First Nation population.

Our treatment philosophy is a unique strength based therapeutic wellness program, centered in traditional aboriginal values. Beliefs, tradition, culture, language and spirituality are recognized and respected. Our model builds on and affirms our power and strength to overcome addictions; as well as providing tools to reclaim self-worth, pride and wellness.
