What is “the RAAC”?
The Rapid Access Addiction Clinic (RAAC) is a specialist medical clinic designed for people who are experiencing health issues related to their drug and/or alcohol use. The clinic is open to people of all ages who are currently using substances, and there is no cost to participate. The RAAC is a short term service and patients are connected back to primary care upon completion of their involvement. The first RAAC opened in Guelph in June 2017 and they are now expanding to Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge.
The RAAC can help if you:
- Want support to address substance dependence
- Need help to reduce cravings
- Are using to avoid withdrawal symptoms
- Have health concerns related to substance use
- Need a place to talk about substance use without judgement
