centre description

For: Men 19+

From the website:
"The mission of Maple Ridge Treatment Centre is to create a healthier quality of life for men and their families by helping them develop new attitudes and behaviours related to their addictions. MRTC is an evidence-based treatment program. While we are '12-step friendly,' we adhere to principles and practices founded on research."

Research indicates that the key to long-term recovery is ‘internal motivation', which means that participants must recognize that they are the authors of their lives. Changing behaviours through guidance has proven successful and, according to research, actively enhances the development of internal motivation. A person doesn't change because others want him to; he changes because he wants to.
