Adult Addiction
Annapolis Valley Health, Mental Health and Addiction Services offer a wide-range of addiction services for individuals, families, organizations and communities. We are a confidential service that helps manage problems involving tobacco, alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs and gambling.
You may want to quit using substances all together or you may want to cut down. You may want to stop gambling. You may be a family member or loved one of someone who is having problems with substance use or gambling – this can be a very difficult and heartbreaking situation. We would love to offer you professional care and support.
We are here to help. Services are offered by trained therapists, community health workers, nurses and health promoters. We offer treatment services for teens, adults, older adults and families. Our services can help people with early use as well as those with ongoing or long term use. People can often experience problems from their substance use or gambling after a very brief time.
You may be wondering if you might be developing a problem. Please call us. Just like any health issue, if you call us early we can help before things get worse.
We also offer training, education and policy development work for professionals, communities and community organizations.
