ADDICTION ALTERNATIVES: COUNSELLING & TREATMENT
SERVICES
A Philosophical Alternative to Conventional
Substance Abuse Programs
Our Mission:
We are committed to
empowering individuals through a process of education, personal
growth and change to resolve substance abuse, restore health and
well-being and reclaim their lives.
Our Philosophy:
At the core of our recovery
philosophy is the belief that ......
No single treatment approach is appropriate for everyone.
Alcohol and drug problems vary greatly in severity affecting many
different types of people in many different ways. Individuals have
varying beliefs and attitudes about the nature and cause of their
problems. They feel differently about the degree of change that is
appropriate and what their personal goals should be. People bring
different degrees of readiness, commitment and confidence to the
changing process. In other words, people are unique and require a
program of change and personal growth that reflects that uniqueness.
