| GOAL: | ||
| The goal of the Adult Addiction Program is for clients to (eventually) stop using alcohol and drugs. This service is designed for women and men with serious alcohol / drug dependence problems. Early in treatment, emphasis is placed on assisting clients to recognize and deal with their problems at a manageable pace. Our counsellor's care, understanding, respect and skill as well as time are required to build on early progress in all of these programs. Relapse does not result in discharge, but more counsellor assistance. For more details, please click here | ||
