LDR Holistic recognizes that addiction is not so easily pinpointed and usually is comprised of many elements. Most people are looking to define their addiction with a simple line in the sand for example; “when I do this it means I am an addict or alcoholic”.

Addictions normally start with more benefits than consequences, making it easier to justify and overall endorse. Most people don’t just start with the mentality “all or nothing attitude” (depending on the substance). Dependency starts to weave its seductive fingers around life usually very innocently. Promises that tell the user; “its okay, just a couple to take the edge off”, “everyone is doing it, so what’s the problem”, ”telling themselves when it starts to feel like I am out of control I’ll get help” and so on…

Many studies have been appointed to researching the “whys”. Yes there are many factors that play a part such as; environment, social impacts, genetics and self-esteem for example. This is one of most obvious reasons why LDR Holistic Treatment Services takes a deeper look at the contributing factors of the overall addiction.

Dependency has not only dictated how the addict thinks, feels and perceives situations, it literally shapes the world they live in. When we look at the progression of dependency from “a” to “b” for example; recreational stage to social stage, we can see that the road is built with fairly basic intentions; pleasure, acceptance, reducing stress, increase social activities and so on.

This builds a belief system that “using” works, making it appear that we have things under control and nothing to really worry about. When we start to mix this belief system with exterior factors, genetics, social impacts, tolerance levels, ignorance and addictive properties we start to see how this can become a very dangerous runaway-train.

Unfortunately as you move further down the progression of dependency to the chronic stage or habitual stage you’ll start to see the shift from benefits to consequences. Amazingly; as the consequences become more regular so do the reasons for using the drink or the drug!

This becomes the famous stage where the act is play to a mastery level. The blanket of denial at this point has been long covering the true nature of dysfunctions. We can start to see the direct challenges the addict faces with coming to realize the true grips of dependency.  Addiction up until this point has had its great rewards and benefits however; now is starting to turn its ugly head and ask for commitment sometimes to the death.

LDR Holistic Treatment Services delivers more than just the typical treatment services we take all aspects (mind, physical, mental and spiritual) of the individual into consideration.  We believe a major undertaking needs to take place in order for the person to really have a chance at addressing his/hers addiction. Education, exercise, counselling, wonderful cosmetic treatment centers with Olympic lap pools are not enough.

Our point is that most people really don’t know what to look for when shopping for a treatment centre and usually fall pray on going for the “treatment adventure”. It’s not enough to have a counsellor sit across from a large group and just deliver educational resources or have spa activities fill the day. Don’t be afraid to ask the hard questions sometimes your life will depends on it.

What makes us special is that we are the most affordable private treatment solution in Canada. People are paying way to much for services that don’t really do anything for the overall addiction issue and simply only deals with the symptoms, not the root problem.

So what can you expect with LDR Holistic Treatment Services; you always have access to the staff, not just on scheduled times once a week or every two weeks, our staffing ratio is one staff member to every two clients, small intimate groups sizes, professional counsellors, adult educators, addiction specialist, certified facilitators, addiction support workers, screened clients that want to be in service, clinical assessments tailored to the individual not the program, and a maximum of eight participants in the program at one time and so much more!
