Health Canada study examined patients before and after treatment stays at Red Fish.
Just a 1½ years after opening, the Red Fish Healing Centre for Mental Health and Addiction in Coquitlam has a success rate of nine in 10 patients getting better from a psychiatric point of view, according to a study done by Health Canada.The federal survey examined patients before and after treatment stays at Red Fish and found its treatment is overwhelmingly successful, said Dr.
But you can’t just knock on the door and be admitted: The one-of-a-kind care centre doesn’t accept drop-ins, patients need to be referred to the centre by their local health authority. The model has attracted interest from around the world, said Mathew, who has attended conferences around the globe to explain Red Fish’s approach.
The referral package is available online to health-care and community services staff who would like a client or patient to get treatment at Red Fish. After Riverview’s closure in 2012, former residents accounted for 10 per cent of the Downtown Eastside’s population of 18,500, Mathew said.
