Alberta Drug Rehabs
There were more than 18,000 adults seeking drug rehab through the Alberta Alcohol and Drug abuse Commission for drugs other than alcohol, yet only about ten percent actually received some kind of residential drug rehabilitation program. More than 15% of Albertans reported using marijuana in the past year, and an additional 3.5% reported using an illicit drug other than marijuana.
The annual estimated cost of substance abuse to Alberta, including drug rehab centers, is about $4.4 billion. This translates to more than $1,400 per person per year. Finding a quality drug rehab center for someone from Alberta can be a difficult task. Much of the problem does come from the idea that the government should provide successful rehabilitation alternatives, but they don't.
In most cases, we recommend a drug rehab center that is longer-term (more than 30 days) and does not use more drugs to treat addiction. Despite the push from disease-theory and harm reduction advocates, replacing one drug with another is not a permanent solution for Alberta or any other place in Canada.
