Hoping To Escape Alcohol Addiction, Canadian Man Heads To Cuba For Treatment - Seeking to escape a long-time addiction to alcohol that is tearing him and his family apart, a Winnipeg man will arrive in Cuba on Sunday (Sept. 30) to participate in a renowned treatment program. The Cuban addiction treatment centers have attracted parents, executives, and celebrities from around the world, and even Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona. Ben, a 46-year old Winnipeg man who is married, has children and a home, hopes that his three-month-long Cuban treatment can turn his life around from its current downward spiral. This has been caused by his 15-year-long addiction and complicated by a panic anxiety disorder.
