Addiction Services| Orientation to Addiction Services (OAS)
A three hour workshop that examines the services offered by Addiction Services. Participants will learn about substance use and gambling, be provided with an overview of how our service thinks about issues related to substance use and gambling, and explore many myths related to alcohol, prescription drug and other drug use and gambling. The impact of addiction on families is also discussed.
