Why Safe Treatment Planning?
- Safety for you, for your children.
Safe detox (see pamphlet)
Your readiness
Children are in your care & living with you
- Suitability
Group therapy is not for everyone. Sometimes, individual therapy is best suited.
Kackaamin staff do our best to adapt & meet the care needs of people. Sometimes, more complex care is needed (mental health & health). - Readiness / Safety
Trauma programs involve heavy emotional work. Learning about parenting is heavy work.
We ask that people are sober & substance free (including marijuana), are able to focus on the work & have the strength to return home (to the cabins) at the end of the day to their children.
