Although the Atlantic Provinces are very appealing for tourism, there are, nonetheless, corrupted drugs and alcohol networks. Alcohol comes in first place in terms of addiction, followed by cannabis, cocaine, and other miscellaneous drugs. Intravenous drugs, such as heroin, are present too, but we see it more rarely (about 1% of the Canadian population uses it). Since there are multiple addictions, there are also various types of drug rehabilitation centers, working with their own personal drug treatment method. Making the decision to go into drug rehab is the best gift you can offer yourself or a loved one! However, choosing the appropriate drug treatment center is not an easy task; there are so many different drug and alcohol rehabs, different drug treatment programs and philosophies! It can get very confusing at some point. For this reason, when you are looking for the right drug rehab center, make sure that it does not only take care of the emotional and psychological aspects of the addiction, but also that the drug treatment center you choose addresses the physical aspect too. In a drug treatment center that uses a biophysical drug rehabilitation approach, all the three parts of the drug addiction cycle are addressed.

A drug abuser usually does not know he is out of control. He looks at his drug-using peers and his own use appears normal in comparison. He needs objective feedback on his behavior. Drug or alcohol abuse intervention is a process that helps an abuser recognize the extent of his problem. Through a non-judgmental, non-critical, systematic process, the drug addict is confronted with the impact of his alcohol or drug use on others. The goal of drug abuse intervention is for him to accept the reality of his drug abuse and to seek help.
