“We want to be proactive — creating safe, culturally responsive spaces where people can continue their healing, strengthen their independence and move forward with the support of community,” PAGC Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte said. “This partnership allows us to turn that commitment into meaningful action.” 

Saskatchewan Health Authority executive director Zoe Teed McKay said locating services closer to home should strengthen recovery pathways and make care easier to access. 

The new Prince Albert spaces are part of the province’s commitment to add 500 addiction-recovery spaces. The government says 414 are now available, including inpatient treatment, withdrawal management, sober-living, post-treatment, outpatient and virtual services in communities across Saskatchewan. 

The 2026–27 provincial budget includes $674 million for mental-health and addiction supports and services. 

The province says the 414 available spaces include: 

• 12 second-stage sober-living spaces with Prince Albert Grand Council in Prince Albert; 

• 20 second-stage sober-living spaces with Oxford House in Lloydminster; 

• 12 second-stage sober-living spaces with Poundmaker’s Lodge in Swift Current; 

• 15 mobile withdrawal-management spaces with Medavie Health Services West in Yorkton; 

• 22 second-stage sober-living spaces at Oxford House in Regina; 

• 21 second-stage sober-living spaces at Oxford House in Prince Albert; 

• 16 second-stage sober-living spaces at Pine Lodge in Regina;

• 40 mobile withdrawal-management spaces with Medavie Health Services West in Saskatoon; 

• 60 inpatient spaces at Willowview Recovery Centre in Lumsden; 

• 15 inpatient treatment spaces at Muskwa Lake Wellness Camp;

• 15 inpatient and five withdrawal-management spaces at Thorpe Recovery Centre near Lloydminster; 

• 41 post-treatment spaces at St. Joseph’s Addiction Recovery Centre in Estevan; 

• 32 intensive outpatient treatment spaces through Possibilities Recovery Center in Saskatoon; 

• 14 inpatient addiction-treatment spaces at Battlefords Treatment Centre in North Battleford; and
