About this trial
Despite substance use causing significant harms and cost to our health care system, British Columbia's (BC) current addiction treatment system remains under-resourced and fragmented. To address this, Providence Health Care (PHC) is expanding clinical addiction services as part of the Road to Recovery Initiative (R2R). The proposed study aims to generate novel data to promote fully evidence-informed and coordinated substance use care in BC and beyond. This study will explore substance use treatment trajectories, identify challenges and areas for growth in addiction health services, characterize important features of patients accessing care, and improve our provincial capacity to promptly tailor approaches to care in response to the substance use crisis.
