A group of people are hoping to establish a new non-profit residential drug and alcohol treatment centre in the province. President of ReAdd, Janet Bordage says this will be the first 12 step based program in New Brunswick.
Bordage says 75% of crime in Saint John is directly linked to drugs and addiction treatment has been proven to work. In the short term, the centre hopes to split up treatment for men and women and create a family wellness centre. Long term goals include building renewal retreat facilities and transitional residential housing. Bordage says they are currently looking for grants, loans and donations to pay for their start up costs.
