Canterbury Institute was founded on the belief that science and medicine can successfully treat alcohol and drug addiction. We believe that treatment based on scientific research and medicine is the best approach. Canterbury Institute is dedicated to fight this disease. No single treatment is appropriate for all individuals. You need a treatment program that fits your individual needs so that you can return to a full, productive life.

Canterbury Institute targets the biology of addiction and focuses on medical aspects of substance dependence. Medical research has proven that addiction is a disease associated with biochemical changes in the brain. Though advanced brain imaging, we can now see that an addict’s brain is different from that of a “normal” person. Substance dependence is a disease – that’s why medicine can help.

Hi,
People or an addict person wanted to recover from addiction, he can. Addiction means a person has no control over whether he or she uses a drug or drinks. Someone who's addicted to cocaine has grown so used to the drug that he or she has to have it. Addiction can be physical, psychological, or both. If you want to recover from this, you have to tell your friends and don't think that you are addicted to these stuff, you are bad. It's not. You have to trust your friends, your self and most especially God. Don't loose hope. There is always a chance for a person who wanted to change. Rehab centers are instrument too to recover a man from addiction. Thank you

Does "Addiction" Mean Only Drug Addiction?
What about other kinds of addiction? By the word "addiction" we do, in fact, mean "drug addiction." Our Third Tradition says, "The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using." Clearly, we mean " A desire to stop using drugs."As a fellowship, we place much importance on the fact that we have shifted the focus of our steps off any specific drug and onto the addiction itself. We have done that by wording Step One "powerless over our addiction" rather than "powerless over drugs" or "powerless over narcotics." Any wording of Step One which named specific drugs, or drugs at all, would have stated the principle with much less power than our current wording does.
If we were to broaden our focus beyond drug addiction to include other types of addiction, we believe we would seriously damage the atmosphere of identification in our meetings. The balance we strive for is a delicate one. On the one hand, we must understand our First Step well enough to keep our sharing at meetings focused on the disease of addiction, not on specific drugs. That way our focus is broad enough to include all drug addicts. On the other hand, we must keep our focus specific enough to provide clear identification for our new members.

If you're still on the fence: grab your fingers thru the yellow pages and make an apointment with a doctor and see which treatment sounds better to you, and which makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
