Leech Lake Nation celebrates opening of Women's Inpatient Treatment Wing

CASS LAKE - Women seeking recovery from substance use and addiction can now find treatment closer to their homes and families, with a new women's inpatient treatment wing opening in Cass Lake on Monday.

Community members and representatives of Leech Lake Nation came together to celebrate the milestone and what it will mean for the community's relatives and loved ones who are struggling with addiction.

The new wing, called Zoongi-ide Ikwewaag, or "Strong-hearted women" in Ojibwe, will be a part of the Ahnji-Be-Mah-Diz Recovery Center in Cass Lake, a residential treatment program for individuals who have been diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder.
