We are a Non-For-Profit with the sole aim of providing people who are victims of substance and behavioral addictions with the materials, resources, and support they need to overcome their dependency.

Regardless of who you are, we want to be apart of your story in overcoming addiction.
- What Problem Are We Solving?
Substance addictions (involving drugs) and behavioural addictions (involving anything but drugs) can seriously impair the way someone lives their life, hurting not only their physical health but their quality of life and social relationships. Overcoming addiction can be a very difficult process and we want to support people in their mission to attaining sobriety.
