The summer can be an exceptionally hot and humid time in Halifax. The temperatures continue to rise with little hope of relief in the near forecast. These hotter summers have brought inspiration to the municipality’s horticulturalist, who has recently decided to dawn a traditionally tropical plant in some Halifax parks. Palm trees have been placed in several locations, alongside other tropical plants such as agave.

Although the high temperatures allow for greater variety in local parks’ horticulture, it can make for very uncomfortable months—especially for those in recovery and suffering from the symptoms of withdrawal. However, patients at Searidge Drug Rehab are offered the opportunity to escape the summer heat. Searidge Foundation is proud to offer fully air conditioned private rooms to ease the discomfort associated with the heat and humidity. Our patients’ comfort is extremely important for a successful addiction treatment, allowing them to focus on their goals of recovery.
