Description
Farihah Ali and co-authors map every publicly funded residential addiction program in Ontario, Canada. The province suffers some of the country's highest substance-related harms, yet its live-in programs vary widely in what they offer and are hard to navigate. The team mined a government health services portal between May and August 2023.
They cataloged 102 residential treatment programs and 36 supportive recovery programs. For each they recorded location, beds, eligibility, stay lengths, wait times, fees, and policies on opioid agonist treatment. Availability and waiting times differed sharply by region. The scan is meant to expose gaps and unevenness in the system, so planners and patients can see what actually exists.
