CATC - Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres

25/10/2025

Canada needs national regulation in addiction and mental health treatment—because recovery should always be safe.

A recent CBC story shows the risk of unregulated services. Families shouldn’t have to question whether treatment is credible or ethical.

At Canadian Addiction Treatment Centres (CATC), we believe in safe, accountable, evidence-based care:

✅ Regulated, professional treatment
✅ Qualified clinicians and medical oversight
✅ Evidence-based programs, including medication-assisted care
✅ Measured outcomes and continuous improvement

Addiction treatment is healthcare—and must meet healthcare standards. Canadians deserve protection, transparency, and trust in care.

People before profit.

For-profit, privately owned residential substance use treatment facilities provide a vital health service, but across Canada they operate with little government regulation or oversight, putting lives of patients at risk, an investigation by CBC’s the fifth estate has found.

This new tool helps us measure recovery in a more meaningful way — looking at quality of life, well-being, and progress — not just relapse rates.

✅ Saves time for care
✅ Flags mental health concerns sooner
✅ Turns assessments into real conversations

A big thank you to our amazing teams and to HiBoop for helping us strengthen patient-centered care. Together, we’re making recovery stronger.

💜 Overdose Awareness Day 💜

We’re incredibly proud of our staff who helped mark this important day in both Brockville and Kingston.

🕊️ In Brockville, our amazing nurse Cara Westgate created a touching memorial display with contributions from our patients — a beautiful way to honour and remember loved ones. Cara also brought smiles and conversations with her creative Naloxone costume, which definitely caught the community’s attention!

💜 In Kingston, staff members Kaitlyn and Alexis joined Dr. Patterson to show off their new swag, representing our ongoing commitment to harm reduction and community care.

A heartfelt thank you to all our staff for their compassion, creativity, and dedication. You truly make a difference every single day. 💜

Today on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour the history, cultures, and resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

We also take this moment to recognize the enduring impact of colonialism, which has contributed to Indigenous communities being 8% more likely than the general population to experience addiction. This stark reality underscores the importance of our collective efforts to address these challenges with empathy and understanding.

At CATC, we’re committed to improving access to trauma-informed and culturally respectful care. Recovery must be possible - and equitable - for everyone.

https://canatc.ca/national-indigenous-peoples-day-2025/

We invite Canadians to honour the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples and to support actions that move us toward healing and equity.
