Alcohol & Drug Rehab London Canada Launches Program to Support Adolescents in Reducing Cannabis Abuse
London, Canada (PRWEB) January 03, 2014 -- A London, Canada alcohol and drug rehab center is announcing that it has started a new program aimed at helping adolescents break their abuse of alcohol through new services available at Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.
According to a report from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 14–21 percent of students in Grade 12 report driving within an hour of using cannabis, and more than 33 percent of Grade 12 students report having been a passenger with someone who had used cannabis.
Drug rehabilitation allows adults and adolescents chances to get clean from marijuana. A part of this process is detoxification, which is cleansing out the physical body filled with mind-altering substances.
Once this process takes place, then counseling and therapeutic methods can enter into play. More times than not, there are real-life issues that a person has used drugs to hide, repress or deny within themselves. Some issues might include physical, emotional, spiritual or mental abuse.
Counselors and therapists with many years of experience in the field of substance abuse treatment and addiction can help make the transition from addiction to recovery easier. These drug rehab staff members can rely on their personal and professional experiences with addiction to offer compassion and support to recovering individuals working to overcome their addictions.
Staff and clients are able to exchange stories of shared experiences, which will let recovering individuals know they are not alone in their journey. The relationships formed between recovering individuals and staff members provide a strong support network that offers strength and guidance during the recovery journey, throughout the transition to life outside of treatment and as recovering individuals adjust to sobriety.
