Like other large cities, Boston has high rates of addiction that are continuing to grow and evolve. While the use of some drugs has become less problematic, new drugs and more potent versions of existing drugs have cropped up, along with increasingly creative methods of ingestion. This has undeniable impacts on several aspects of life, including personal relationships, careers, and finances.
Because of these social and economic consequences, researchers have been paying more attention to addiction and how best to treat it. Our understanding of this problem has evolved, and treatment methods have not been far behind. 1000 Islands Addictions Treatment Centre offers inpatient addiction treatment that is based on the latest research. Located a couple of hours’ drive from Toronto, Ontario, we offer the perfect opportunity for Boston residents to pack their bags and leave their troubles far behind them, so they can focus on their recovery.
Substance abuse often goes undetected for years. Those who live with it become adept at creating the illusion that everything is fine. They can successfully hide their illness from loved ones and themselves. This puts them at great risk for health problems and death. The effects vary from one substance to the next, and can include changes in appetite, weight loss or gain, seizures, stroke, mental confusion and brain damage. More prolonged exposure to drugs or alcohol frequently results in liver damage, heart disease, anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions.
With the appropriate support and treatment program, addiction can be overcome. Without treatment, it destroys lives and is potentially fatal.
