“Although the cost of establishing a facility will be great, the cost of doing nothing and the toll in human lives is greater. By making treatment options for youth inaccessible, we are sentencing these young people to decades of addiction.”
~ Michael Beauchesne, Executive Director, Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre (a day program)
