Calgary's Downtown Dilemma

[trtcttc]

I'm trying to think of additional services that could have synergies with addiction treatment and I'm struggling, mostly because I don't know what addiction treatment actually looks like. It is a blind spot.

It can have treatment but also an outpatient facility so we bring those that O/D to this facility first. For some, they might not be heavy drug abusers, and if there's services there when they leave, they're not going back out on the streets. Something like social workers, affordable housing representatives, employment services to let them turn their lives around. It's not going to help the severe cases, but most people start as functioning addicts before they spiral to the people we see causing public safety issues.
