The National Program to Fight against the abuse of alcohol and drugs among Aboriginal (NNADAP) is an example of Health Canada program which is managed largely by communities and First Nations agencies. Its goal is the one who had presided over its creation in the 70s, namely to help Inuit communities and First Nations to develop and offer programs to reduce high rates of alcohol abuse, drugs and solvents among residents of reserves. NNADAP supports a national network of 52 treatment centers inpatient totaling approximately 700 beds.
