Youth Information

Thanks for taking the time to look up REAL information on drugs. Many times 'googling' websites on drugs can lead you to unaccredited sites where the people who developed the site are not professionals and they are posting information based on their opinions. This often means you are NOT getting REAL information on substances and addiction.

On this page you can find information on how to get help for yourself, someone you know, or become aware of some issues with drugs that are REAL. The Cool Links section, along the side of the page is some of our recommended sites that will also give you great information on drugs. Take advantage of playing some music or one of the cool games while you learn more about addiction

Hope this is helpful for you. Please, contact us if you have questions at intake@adstv.on.ca or call 519-673-3242 ext. 260.
