Eating Disorder Treatment

The Public Health Agency of Canada defines an eating disorder as "a serious disturbance in eating behaviour - either eating too much or too little - in addition to great concern over body size and shape”.

Eating disorders are not a function of will. They are unhealthy eating patterns that "take on a life of their own". Voluntary eating of smaller or larger food portions is common, but for some people this develops into a compulsion where eating behaviours become extreme.

Gambling Addiction Treatment

Gambling addiction (also known as problem gambling) is gambling behavior which causes disruptions in any major area of life: psychological, physical, social or vocational. The term "problem gambling" includes, but is not limited to, the condition known as "pathological" or "compulsive" gambling, a progressive addiction characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, "chasing" losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of mounting negative consequences.

Sex Addiction Treatment

Sexual addiction is a pattern of sexual behaviours that are out of control and continued despite negative consequences. As in other addictions, changes in brain chemistry are at the core of the addiction. In sex addiction, the changes are caused by sexual behavior and fantasizing about sex or romantic activities. Even on-line romances become addictive when they become a substitute for reality or a way to escape reality.

Interventionists

An intervention is a structured method of assisting an individual who has resisted others’ previous attempts to help them treat a drug or alcohol problem. An intervention’s objective is to confront a person in a non-threatening way so they see their self-destructive behavior and how it affects themselves, family, and friends. A well-executed intervention is professionally facilitated by an interventionist: an individual with expertise in drug and alcohol counselling and specific training in the intervention process.

Canada Alcohol And Drug Rehab Programs

Canadadrugrehab.ca is a free online directory listing of alcohol and drug rehab programs and other addiction-related services located in Canada. If you wish to locate alcohol and drug treatment services in your home community please remember you have two options: (1) government-funded treatment or (2) private treatment.

Government-funded treatment advantages are that there is no cost for outpatient or medical treatment while residential treatment is free or low cost (typically less than $100 a day). The disadvantages of government treatment include: (1) the need of a referral from your family doctor or from a government-funded mental health clinic, (2) wait lists and (3) the division of medical services (detox) and residential services.

The main private treatment advantages are prompt admission, longer treatment episodes, the ability to choose your therapist or treatment centre, no geographical restriction, integrated medical and residential services, etc. The disadvantages, of course, are costs which can range from $50 to $200 per hour for a private practice therapist (depending on their qualifications and experience) or $150 to $500 per day for private residential treatment...

As a parent, realizing that your child needs help but you feel helpless. That you have done everything you could do to try and fix them. I felt that I had failed my son. Mom should have been able to do that right?

Well. mom, dad, brother, and sister couldn’t!

It was my daughter who said “mom, we need an interventionist. “This is life and death”. We are not capable of handling this alone any longer! It was at that moment that I realized we really did need professional help! We contacted an interventionist…Andy, an angel walking this earth! Within 2 days he travelled from Vancouver to NL.

After years of dealing with my son’s addiction, I finally felt there was someone out there who could help him and our family! I thank God every day for Andy. Andy came to us as a stranger. We put all our faith in him. We now consider Andy a part of our family! Through Andy’s intervention, our son is with us today. He celebrated his 2 years clean date on September 29, 2020 Through Andy’s intervention, my son was able to heal.

My son travelled to the Cabin in Thailand as part of his healing. As a parent from a small town, I couldn’t imagine him being that far away from us while dealing with his addiction. We would have weekly calls from him and his counsellor. Having that one-on-one time gave us all peace of mind. Hearing the excitement in my son’s voice for the first time since he was a teenager, knowing that he was truly happy there, I knew the trust we put in Andy was the best decision.

I truly believe if we didn’t find Andy and make that call, our son would not be here today! If there is one thing I have learned as a parent living with an addict, please do not let your pride get in the way. Please do not think because you have to ask for help that you have failed as a parent! Because of Andy’s intervention, I can now enjoy my life and my family. Thank you for all you do for others, Andy!

Love you!”
