At Canterbury Institute, we focus on addiction as a brain-based disease that affects a person's actions, not a voluntary behavior that can be simply changed or easily willed away.

Canterbury Institute's treatment programs are not only REVOLUTIONARY and INNOVATIVE; they are also the closest thing we have to a cure.

Medical research has proven that alcohol, drugs, smoking, gambling, and other addictive behaviors are medical diseases associated with biochemical and neurological changes in the brain. Canterbury focuses on correcting these imbalances, which are the single direct cause of the overpowering cravings that lead to relapse.

Canterbury's medical approaches are combined with a customized nutritional plan and an individualized psycho-social counseling program which allows the person to stay on the road to recovery.

At Canterbury Institute we are rethinking addiction. If someone you loved or cared about were to be diagnosed with cancer, your first course of action would be to find the best medical treatment possible, not to give them a lecture. This course of action should hold true with addiction as well.

The 28-day spiritually based 12-step model is so ingrained in everyone's thinking that most people do not even realize that there are MEDICAL ALTERNATIVES that are 5 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE.

Canterbury Institute believes that we are at an exciting and promising stage in the history of addiction treatment. Our Treatment Programs are so effective that we are dreaming of a world where people do not die from the self-administration of poison against their own will.
