"It scared me out of
doing what I what I
used to do. I use to
go to raves alot and
do all kinds of drugs.
I've been clean now
for over 2 months.
Some of my old using
friends even beat me
up to try to make me
come back but I won't.
I just don't want to
wind up like the people
in Vancouver"

" I think the Scared
Straight Program
is the best education
program out there for
youth."

The Scared Straight Program teaches youth about the dangers of addiction by letting them see first hand the devastation of addiction. We do this by giving the youth a 48 hour tour of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside which is the most infamous skid row in all of North America.
