SUNRISE Native Addictions Services Society has provided Aboriginal based programs in the community since 1974. Our abstinence - based approach for adults is founded on the twelve steps and philosophy of Alcoholics Anonynmous (A.A). These principles being harmonious with Aboriginal values and teachings - are at the heart of our groups and counseling services. We welcome Aborignal and Non - Aboriginal clients who are willing to participate in Aboriginal culture and teachings as an integral part of their road to healing and recovery from addictions.
