The Round Lake Alcohol and Drug Treatment Society operates residential programs specializing in alcohol, drug, and trauma recovery, integrating clinical therapies with Indigenous cultural practices. Accredited and culturally specific, it emphasizes holistic healing through the medicine wheel framework, balancing physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being[1][3][4].

Treatment Approach

The organization employs a trauma-informed model combining cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and sensorimotor psychotherapy[3]. Programs emphasize individual responsibility, peer-supported group sessions, and skill-building for substance-free living[5][3]. Cultural components, including elder-led teachings, are central but designed to complement clients’ existing spiritual beliefs[1][2].

Additional Services
