... In a recent study, Aboriginal women participating in treatment at National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (NNADAP) treatment centres identified the RECLAIM principles as important for treatment providers to understand and apply when supporting Aboriginal women's healing from illicit drug abuse [46].
