Nenqayni Wellness Centre is federally funded by Health Canada (HC). We are a National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (NNADAP) treatment facility and accredited by Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) since 2001.

Persons who have Indian Status (10 digit number) and are defined as such under the Indian Act are covered for services.

Nenqayni Wellness Centre has occupancy requirements that are set out by our funding organizations and if we do not meet requirements then our funding is jeopordized. For this reason we do not accept non-status youth into the Youth & Family Inhalant Program. All youth in the Youth & Family Inhalant Program must have their own status number. However for the Family Alcohol & Drug Program a family member who does not have status will be considered if the spouse or partner does have a status number.

No, Nenqayni Wellness Centre is not a detox facility. Anyone entering the program needs to be free of alcohol and drugs for a minimum of 14 days and longer if possible is highly recommended.

When a person decides to go to treatment the healing journey has already begun. You cannot wait to enter the treatment program to stop drinking or using drugs. It is also recommended that you recieve several counseling sessions with your referral worker prior to your application/acceptance into a treatment program. If you arrive at Nenqayni Wellness Centre intoxicated or under the influence of illegal substances or drugs not prescribed by your doctor you may be asked to leave.
