Parents can access confidential health and advice in their communities, through their doctor or on-line. We have recommended several web resources on this page but parents can find help locally by contacting their provincial/territorial additions agency or ministry of health from this list of treatment services prepared by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse.
