Addiction, or substance use disorder, is a chronic, relapsing condition. It is a worldwide issue that has reached epidemic proportions, and healthcare organizations and officials are being forced to address it head-on. This involves increased research, including the examination of global patterns of drug and alcohol use.
Addiction is more of an issue in certain parts of the world. It differs dramatically in severity from one country to another, as well as within each country. Nova Scotia’s substance abuse rate is higher than the national average. As in other areas, the use of certain drugs has declined, while the prevalence of others has increased, with alcohol use remaining steady. The government is working to rectify this very serious problem.

The compassionate and well-informed staff use information about medical and family history, the specific addiction, its severity and its longevity to develop a personalized plan based on the unique needs of each individual.
