Our Mission
We will provide a continuum of addiction services which help Islanders live healthy, successful lives
without relying on alcohol, drugs, or addictive behaviours.
Our Beliefs
- Addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling is a disease, just like cancer, diabetes and hypertension.
- Addictions is a treatable disease and when people get well, all society benefits.
- Treatment programs should be accessible at all stages of the illness.
- Treatment must include the whole person, physical, emotional and spiritual.
- Addictions is a family illness and all members should have information, support and treatment.
- We remain committed to a 12-Step philosophy and mutual support systems to assist clients and
families in ongoing recovery.
- There can be substance abuse without substance dependency and education programs are needed
to reduce the harmful consequences.
Treatment Model
Treatment is based on a disease model with a goal of abstinence through the support of self-help
groups.
