Revealed: 8 people died at B.C. recovery home hailed as groundbreaking

...More people and institutions are starting to question the lack of regulation and ad-hoc programming at B.C.’s recovery facilities. This is partly because they deal with life-or-death situations and also because they receive millions of dollars in government funding and have been positioned as the government’s main response to the drug toxicity crisis that continues to kill thousands of British Columbians.

 

A number of groups, including Workers for Ethical Substance Use Policy, Moms Stop The Harm, the BC Humanist Society, Harm Reduction Nurses Association, and the roughly 50,000-member BC Nurses Union have all taken positions that the B.C. recovery industry should be regulated and evidence-based.
