Drug Rehabilitation in Canada - Something can be done about it

We are a public service initiative designed to help addicts and families of addicts bridge the gap between available treatment options. Our counsellors form a fellowship of compassionate and dedicated workers who have all been touched by addiction themselves. We are here to provide help, provide hope, and explain all of your options to make this process of finding everlasting sobriety as smooth as possible.

What is addiction?

Simply stated, addiction is a continual desire to repeat an action in spite of your desire to not do so. Most of the time a person that is addicted will have logical reason why they should repeat their destructive actions, but their addiction overrides their better judgement and they repeat the destructive behaviours.

You hear about food addictions and gambling addiction as well as the more common drug addiction and all of these addictions fit that simple definition. You can have a psychological and/or physical addiction. If you are physically addicted to any substance, such as tobacco, you will also have a psychological addiction, but the reverse isn’t necessarily true.
