Intervention Canada is a powerful and gripping television series
in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to
redemption. The series follows the format of the multiple Emmy-nominated
ground-breaking U.S. series. It profiles people whose dependencies on
drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior have brought them to a
point of personal crisis that culminates in an intervention with
families and professionals offering assistance. In the latest episode
featuring GreeneStone Muskoka, titled "Katie," Andrew Galloway helps
24-year-old Katie and her mother intervene with Katie's opiate addiction.
“GreeneStone is proud to be associated with Intervention Canada
on the Slice Network in an endeavor that brings much needed awareness to
the issue of addiction, as well as the cause of mental illness, in
general. One in five people will experience a form of mental illness at
some point and most will be reluctant to talk to a co-worker, friend or
family member about their struggle, let alone seek treatment.
GreeneStone is among a growing number of organizations that have joined
the cause to de-stigmatize and address the mental illness crisis head
on,” commented Shawn Leon, CEO of GreeneStone Healthcare Corp.
For every $5 spent on drug rehabilitation by the Canadian government,
$95 is spent on incarceration of drug users (Health Officer’s Council
of BC). At the same time, substance abuse costs the Canadian
healthcare system an estimated $8 billion annually and the economy an
estimated $34 billion (Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse). The
majority of the economic cost of substance abuse – an estimated 85% – is
due to lost productivity. As such, GreeneStone has focused on Boomers,
executives, and professionals as its primary patient stream (with the
18-30 year old segment as the secondary stream).
