Episode 95 - Lisa Cowan, Tamarack Recovery Centre

Lisa Cowan is the Executive Director of the Tamarack Recovery Centre here in Winnipeg. Tamarack has been serving our community for nearly 50 years, offering community-based treatment and support for alcohol and drug addiction, as well as aftercare and transitional housing to help their clients make a lasting change in their lives.

I sat down with Lisa Cowan from Tamarack Recovery Centre, to talk about her work and the modern context of addiction in 2022, the stigmas that continue to surround community-based treatment, and what the average person needs to know about people going through recovery.
