What this trial studies

The Road to Recovery Initiative (R2RI) aims to enhance addiction treatment services in British Columbia by generating data to inform evidence-based care. This observational study will explore treatment trajectories for substance use, identify challenges within the current system, and characterize the patients accessing these services. By collaborating with local health authorities, the initiative seeks to create a coordinated and culturally safe continuum of care that addresses the substance use crisis in the province. The findings will help tailor approaches to better meet the needs of individuals struggling with addiction.
