In the communities where there are health facilities, individuals can go to those health facilities and get referral and be brought in, through medical travel, to utilize the detox beds in either Inuvik or Yellowknife, whichever happens to be closer. For the smaller communities that don’t have nurses, we do have other types of professionals in those communities like CHRs, CHWs that we can have conversations with and they can get a doctor involved to make a referral so that an individual could come out and receive withdrawal management services in either Stanton or Inuvik, whichever happens to be closer.
