Involuntary addiction treatment now legal in Sask. despite medical groups' warnings
As early as this fall, people in Saskatchewan with severe addictions may be forced into treatment at Saskatchewan Hospital, a psychiatric facility in North Battleford.
The Sask. Party on Tuesday passed the Compassionate Intervention Act into law.
The Opposition NDP, the Saskatchewan Medical Association (SMA) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CPSS) have become vocal about their opposition to the law's implementation.
