Located on səmiq̓ʷəʔelə in Coquitlam, (formerly the Riverview lands), the 105-bed Red Fish Healing Centre (RFHC) is recognized as a “first of its kind in North America,” as it is believed to be the first, large, standalone centre dedicated to treating the concurrent disorders of mental health and addictions.
