Trois-Rivieres,
Quebec, Canada – It was no more then three years ago when
the Narconon
Trois-Rivieres video production team released one of its first
drug addiction stories. This video has later been followed by
other very compelling stories and interviews all giving a real
life insight into the destruction a drug addiction can have. The
most recent was a recorded interview of a young woman who over
came a heroin addiction; she described how the addiction took
away her youth and her family. “When this original drug
addiction story was released it became a big hit on You Tube,”
said Nick Hayes, a representative of Narcocon Trois-Rivieres.
“It was an in-depth interview with a former crystal meth
addict, gang member, and criminal, who turned his life around
while attending the Narconon drug rehab program. The video was
an inspiration to everybody who was struggling with an addiction.”
The Narconon crystal
meth video became a powerful message and joined the ranks
of other effective drug prevention videos helping to deter people
from getting started into an addiction. Crystal meth addiction
has become a destructive problem throughout the United States,
and unfortunately Canada has become one on the larger distributors
of these types of synthetic drugs, according to the 2009 World
Drug Report. Statistically, crystal meth can be a very difficult
drug to recover from. For example, according to a ‘Drug
use in Toronto, Canada’ survey, it was found that 37% of
Toronto street youth were using crystal meth. This number is based
on a specific population, but the Canadian Association of Mental
Health does not report an increase within the general population.
“Regardless of how it is looked at, crystal meth addiction
is a serious problem, and needs to be treated right away,”
said Hayes.
