Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) is a rapid access clinic for individuals with substance use issues that require specialized (evidenced based) addiction medicine support. Upon receiving the referral at the RAAM clinic, the addiction clinical team may provide: assessment, case management, counselling support, as well as prescribe appropriate addiction medications. The team will also connect individuals to community treatment programs. Once individuals are stabilized, they are referred back to primary care for long-term follow-up; the clinical team can provide (limited) ongoing support by being available to family physicians for re-assessments, consultations, and advice about addiction care. In this model, addiction specialists, hospital staff, family doctors, and community service agents work together to provide seamless and accessible care to patients with substance use disorder.
