Fresh Start Recovery helping those battling addictions

There is still hope for those battling addictions and willing to get help. Facilities in southern Alberta like Fresh Start Recovery offer a huge positive contribution to the community. The Executive Director at Fresh Start Recovery in Lethbridge, Bruce Holstead, says the facility welcomes around a thousand people through its doors each year. Holstead explains why it is so important to recognize that this is National Addictions Awareness week. According to Addiction Help.com an estimated 21 per cent of Canadians, about 6 million people, will meet the criteria for addiction in their lifetime.
