What is Addiction and what are some things done in counselling?

I made a short slide show that discusses addiction and a brief intro to what addiction counselling entails.

People often ask what benefits counselling and recovery brings.

91% of recovering addicts have a very positive quality of life, with:

96% having stable housing;

94% being able to pay bills on time; and

90% actively participating in family activities

-(www.ccsa.ca Stats Document)

This is important because "1 in 3 people will experience mental illness in their lifetime" and "An estimated 21 percent of Canadians will experience addiction issues in their lifetime." - CAMH

Together we can stop the stigma and help our friends, family members, neighbours, and others get access to services and improve their quality and quantity of life.
