L’objectif

Alberta Health Services is committed to providing a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans. This commitment includes a recovery-oriented approach that includes harm reduction and places priority on treating patients and their families with respect and dignity without judgement, stigma, or discrimination.

Constatations/points à retenir

The Psychoactive Substance Use Policy reinforces the importance of promoting holistic care that recognizes the unique health and social needs of populations vulnerable to poor health outcomes. All programs and services across the continuum of care will offer a culturally safe recovery-oriented approach to care. Abstinence or a reduction in substance use is not required to receive equitable and compassionate health care services.
