Alberta refining licensing requirements for addiction treatment providers

Alberta’s government plans to change and refine provincial licensing requirements for addictions services and treatment.
Newly tabled legislation will define three types of bed-based addiction treatment services, including withdrawal management and intensive treatment.
Mental Health and Addictions Minister Dan Williams says each service will have specific licensing requirements that service providers must follow if the bill is passed.
He says moving away from the province’s current one-size-fits-all approach to licensing will allow the government to address complex situations.
