Often, the stresses and temptations of urban living can lead to problems with addiction, including alcohol and drug abuse. The population of Toronto is no exception. The 2004 Drug Use in Toronto Report identified high rates of marijuana use and binge drinking among students living in Toronto. Among marginalized communities, methamphetamine is popular in younger people, while older adults favor crack cocaine. Ecstasy (MDMA) remains the most popular club drug and, as in other communities, the use of narcotics such as Oxycodone or Oxycontin is an emerging problem.

Toronto is home to one of the world’s foremost research centers in the area of addiction, the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). The CAMH has an arm specifically dedicated to the study of drug addiction. According to experts there, drug addiction is a complex disorder affected by many factors, including the environment we live in and our genes. As a result, the CAMH researchers are studying both the pharmacological and psychological components of addiction and recovery. In addition to studying addictions to illicit drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, Oxycodone, and LSD, they also look at addiction to tobacco cigarettes and gambling. Another area of research is the relationship between mental disorders, such as anger problems or eating disorders, and addiction.

Developing a better understanding of addiction can help us develop better treatments that can enhance the recovery process. At Sobriety.ca Foundation, we keep up-to-date on the latest research from major addiction centers like CAMH so that we can offer the best recovery services that science has to offer.

City of Ottawa at Night

Ottawa is the capitol city of Canada. Despite a population of only just over 1 million, this is a thriving city, with the government and the University of Ottawa presenting important employment opportunities.

In its role as Capital, it is no surprise that Ottawa was selected to be the starting point of a nationwide fact-finding mission entitled "Resolving Marijuana Prohibition”. Kicking off on January 26, 2009, students, faculty, media, politicians, activists and interested public across Canada were invited to join leader Marc-Boris St-Maurice, Executive Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws in Canada (NORML) as he crosses the country. The mission is to explore the four pillars of the "National Resolution for the Legalization of Marijuana":

  1. Economic Development
  2. Health and Medicine
  3. Social Justice
  4. Policy Implementation
