Area service providers are backing the need for an addictions treatment centre in the Rainy River district.
It's one of the conclusions to a survey conducted by the Rainy River District Women's Shelter of Hope
Researcher Connie Terlesky hopes the findings lead to a centre being built.
"We have an investor that is willing to put in a significant amount of money towards building a centre in Atikokan," says Terlesky. "I know there are others on that same path. I say who ever gets there first, lets band together and get it done."
Agencies also suggested a need for more programs aimed at men-only.
