Rapid Access Addictions Medicine Clinic
Rapid Access Addictions Medicine Clinic

The Northern Algoma Rapid Access Addictions Medicine (RAAM) Clinic is a space for people looking to get help with high-risk substance use and addictions. Our clinic is open by appointment or drop-in. People may access our clinic if: 

  • they want to try medical assistance to reduce or stop their substance use 

  • they experience frequent intoxication or overdose symptoms

  • they experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when attempting to reduce or stop their substance use

  • substance-related health issues, such as hepatitis, pancreatitis, or infections, among others occur

RAAM clinics are not for people needing urgent medical attention.*  The people working at these clinics know how difficult it is to ask for help. You don’t need an appointment to go to the clinic – just show up during clinic hours.

The Wawa Family Health Team would like to acknowledge the land in which we hold our practice of medicine on and the land of the people we serve. We are grateful to reside on the lands and home of the Anishinaabe and Cree and respectfully acknowledge that this land is Indigenous land that has been inhabited by Indigenous people from the beginning. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect here, and we thank all the generations of people, who have stewarded and cared for the land for thousands of years. We recognize and deeply appreciate the historic contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples both in shaping and strengthening this province and country. The Wawa Family Health Team promotes a healthier community through creating a safe space that welcomes diversity, inclusion, and acceptance for everyone. We are committed to the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation, and we are learning that acknowledgement of the past and current traumas will aid us in providing equitable and culturally appropriate care. We promise to express humility in our daily practices to provide the utmost patient-centered care we can.
