Alcohol Drug Treatment

There are few communities across America which have not seen and felt the havoc that drug and alcohol addiction creates. Today there are an estimated 20 million or more Americans who depend on drugs (illicit and prescription) or alcohol and are searching for an inpatient drug rehab. And these numbers do not include the millions of families and loved ones who are undoubtedly confused at which drug rehab facility to choose.

All these unfortunate statistics leave many Americans turning to government and state-funded rehabilitation programs, both inpatient and outpatient. Some of the residential drug treatment centers, often filled to maximum capacity and utilizing ineffective treatment methods, create a revolving door in the American drug and alcohol rehabilitation system and leave behind a wake of addicts and alcoholics moving from one program to the next.

We at Drug Rehab Services encourage you to call us today so that we can find the right drug rehab facility for any addiction.

Who uses alcohol?

  • The majority of Canadian adults drink alcohol, and do so responsibly. But because it is a drug, there might be risks if you drink any quantity of alcohol. During 2005, about two-thirds (62%) of all Ontario students (grade 7––12) admitted drinking at least once in the past year. This is approximately 603,400 students. 10% consumed alcohol once a week.
  • One in four male students (25%) and one in five females (20%) admitted binge drinking (five or more drinks at one time) in the past 30 days.
  • Over half of the alcohol drank in Canada is beer, the most popular alcoholic drink. Next are liquor (e.g., rum, vodka) at 26 per cent and wine at 21 per cent.
  • Canadians spend approximately $12.4 billion annually on alcohol.
  • Approximately 10 per cent of Canadians are dependent on alcohol at certain time in their lives.
  • Plan ahead and stay safe!
  • Have a back-up plan for getting home (have money and a phone number for a taxi, or call your parents or a friend whom you trust).
  • If you drink at all, it is recommended not to drive at all.
  • When relying on others for a ride, ensure you know how much the driver has drunk before choosing to get in the car (this includes rides with adults, too).
  • If you drink, monitor your drinks, have certain non-alcoholic drinks too, and eat before you drink and while you are drinking.
  • For overnight stays plan ahead. Ensure you know how much your friends are drinking and how they are getting home.
  • Don’t mix alcohol with medicines or illicit substances. Check with your pharmacist to be certain.
