Alberta opens youth addiction recovery center in 2026, expanding treatment capacity amid concerns.

Alberta plans to open a $23-million, 105-bed youth addiction recovery center within a renovated section of the Edmonton Young Offender Centre in 2026. The facility aims to treat up to 300 youth annually, nearly doubling the province's current capacity of 70 beds. Despite concerns about the facility's location near a correctional center, the government assures it will be entirely separate and focused on providing necessary treatment spaces for youth struggling with addiction.
