Brad's Journey

Substance use disorders are one of the three most common types of mental illnesses experienced by Canadians, with young people aged 15-24 years having the highest rates of substance abuse or dependence. (Pearson C., Janz T., Health at a Glance: Mental and Substance Use Disorders in Canada. Statistics Canada; Ottawa, ON, Canada: 2013)

Approximately 20% of youth from Southern Georgian Bay abuse substances with almost 10% abusing at least one of the five illicit drugs such as:

Cocaine

Crack

Speed

Ecstasy

Heroin

Southern Georgian Bay is in dire need of an affordable addiction treatment center for our youth and young adults.

Brad's Journey will contribute funds to Brad's Place Addiction Treatment of Southern Georgian Bay for the procurement of a state of the art treatment center that will provide local youth and young adults with an in-patient addiction treatment.
