Most pray for a healthy life, but there are some people who do not care about their health and their families’ health. These people are those who fall into the deadly hands of drugs and alcohol. Not only is the person who is addicted to drugs and/or alcohol affected, but their family members as well. Once they abuse the consumption of certain drugs or alcohol, it is very difficult for them to stop. To help them cease from these deadly habits, friends and family members struggle a lot, and most do not succeed on their own.

I arrived at Narconon Trois-Rivieres on March 17th, 2009 from Kelowna, B.C. I was just released out of Kelowna’s General Hospital after almost loosing my life. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. I had lung surgery and blood poisoning. My health, nutrition and weight were very fatal. My plans and intentions were never to become clean and sober or even come close to getting treatment. Living a long healthy prosperous life wasn’t something I saw for myself, even though I was raised in a family to believe so. I just took the wrong path for myself at a very young age. I had no way of dealing with my emotions or feelings other then self-destruction; it became a ritual.

The quality of residential drug treatment centers range from average to very high.

Residential drug rehab programs and program centers are a very effective form of treatment because the patient is fully immersed in the program for the entire time that he/she is in treatment.
