Ready to end your dependence on drugs, alcohol or nicotine?

We can help.

All substance addictions have a negative effect on your overall health.

Letting go of unhealthy behaviors creates new pathways to a healthier you.

Developing an addiction to drugs, alcohol or nicotine isn’t a character flaw or a sign of weakness, and it takes more than willpower to overcome the problem.

With the right treatment and support, beginning with your Brown & Toland primary care physician (PCP), recovery is always within reach, no matter how many times you may have tried and failed before. There are many advantages to quitting and many resources, in addition to your PCP, to help you get there See the reverse of this flyer for more information.
