Quebec Drug Rehab Centre Closes Abruptly
From The National Post:
MONTREAL -- A private drug-and-alcohol rehab centre in the Laurentian town of Chertsey closed abruptly this month and left cocaine and heroin addicts to fend for themselves in Montreal.
The Clear Haven Centre, which advertised a "holistic approach to substance abuse treatment" amid "122 beautiful wilderness acres," shut its doors on Jan. 7. But as late as Dec. 31, staff members were still accepting new patients and demanding thousands of dollars in payment up front.

There are so many drug addicts and so few drug addiction centers and even those open often do not meet the standards and are forced to close down!!
Curing drug addiction is not an easy task. It needs a drug rehab that has all the best addiction treatments they can offer.
Thanks for the information.
When the Government realizes that the war on drugs has failed perhaps then will people who abuse drugs get the treatment they need as opposed to prison time.
Drug abuse is not criminal, it is a health issue. Those people need treatment, not prison time.
This is what happens when Centers like these are run by unprofessional people.I was employed by this place as a security night watch person.The rules they had were like the clients were in a prison system.The staff were treated like they were dogs by the Director.His people skills were next to none.All i can say is that this place was just there to make money.Also another thing! they still owe employees money and you can very well imagine how much they owe to the former clients who were in treatment at the time.This is totally unprofessional.I myself having extensive Security training was treated like I knew nothing.This director should hung out to dry in my opinion.
The treatments for abuse alcohol programs were increasing in all over the centers but we should choose the right one for the purpose. The drug rehab riverside may solve some of the problems.
This is definitely a worth information to be spread. People must get the awareness on these issues. Addiction is a terrible disorder that may even spoil the life of the victim inflicted because addiction can manifest itself in a variety of ways. So choosing the proper treatment is the only way to get the wreck out of the disorder.

Treatment Center
