New Brunswick is one of Canada’s Maritime Provinces. To the west, the province also borders the U.S. state of Maine.
The provincial capital of New Brunswick is the centrally-located Fredericton. Its other major city, further to the south, is Saint John.
As in other Canadian provinces, drug addiction can be a problem in New Brunswick, particularly among the province’s youth. Currently, young Canadians who abuse drugs appear to prefer marijuana and the stimulants mescaline and amphetamines. They may also use other types of drugs, however, including narcotic painkillers, ecstasy (MDMA), and even cocaine. Use of intravenous drugs is on the rise, as well.

City of Saint John, New Brunswick
Saint John is the largest city in New Brunswick. The greater metropolitan area is home to about 120,000 people. Saint John is also the oldest incorporated city in Canada.
Addiction to opiates, which includes morphine as well as the brand name drugs Dilaudid, Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Codeine, and Demerol is a drug problem that is plaguing the otherwise quiet city of Saint John. In fact, the Saint John police force is calling for an expansion of the city’s methadone treatment program, as methadone treatment targets opiate addicts. The police point out that, in the city, about 75% of crime is related to drugs, and particularity opiate drugs. Most of the robberies, assaults, and break-and-enters that occur in Saint John happen in the southern portion of the city, which is known to be populated with drug addicts. As the methadone program currently stands, addicts must wait up to a year for addiction and recovery treatment, which the police consider unacceptable. Treatment and addiction and recovery programs should be more readily available, they argue.
