Addiction medicine in downtown Toronto
Evidence-based care delivered with compassion, dignity, and respect — because addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing.
About Addiction Clinic Toronto
Addiction Clinic Toronto offers professional, evidence-based treatment for people living with opioid or alcohol use disorder. We understand that addiction is a medical condition requiring professional treatment, not judgment.
For opioid use disorder we provide opioid agonist treatment (OAT): a long-acting medication, prescribed and monitored by a physician, that prevents withdrawal and reduces cravings. For alcohol use disorder we provide medical assessment, medication to reduce cravings and support for safe withdrawal. Our approach pairs medical care with compassionate, non-judgmental support.
Located at 55 Dundas St E in the heart of downtown Toronto, our clinic is conveniently accessible from Yonge-Dundas Square, TTC transit, and major universities throughout the GTA.
