Drug and Alcohol Addiction Services in Vancouver, British Columbia

Addiction is a disease, just like diabetes or heart disease are illnesses. 

For example, imagine how physical conditions such as cardiovascular disease affect the heart or how an injury impacts a specific bone or ligament.

Addiction severely impacts the brain and can affect anyone, regardless of age, race, or gender.

We know that addiction has various causes that can impact an individual’s mental health and well-being. For example, it is common for people to suffer from a substance use disorder and mental illness simultaneously; this is called a co-occurring disorder.

Co-occurring disorders may present differently in each person. For example, someone might have an anxiety disorder and marijuana addiction simultaneously.

Another example of a co-occurring disorder is when a person is diagnosed with major depression and alcohol use disorder at the same time.

Fortunately, co-occurring disorders are treatable, and overcoming your addiction and mental health issues is possible with professional support and care. 

Please speak to a team member at our recovery centre to learn more about our co-occurring disorder treatment program.

Vancouver, a vibrant city in British Columbia, is known for its rich culture and artsy community.

However, a drug addiction crisis has reached epidemic proportions amid Vancouver’s warm sense of community and energetic culture.
