Northern Health picks Second Avenue location for drug and alcohol detox facility
The long-awaited sobering and assessment centre to provide short-term housing for people intoxicated with drugs or alcohol and treat their addictions was slated to open next month.
Carrier-Sekani Family Services has been chosen to operate the eight-10-bed temporary housing complex owned by BC Housing at 1133 Second Ave., between George Street and Queensway. “Right now they’re at a position where they just have to put up some walls between the bed spaces and that’s all that’s really left to do there. This one turned out a very suitable venue and it didn’t require nearly as much in terms of tenant improvement for the renovations.”
