Northern Health Region has launched a new Rapid Access to Addictions Medicine, or RAAM, Clinic in The Pas.

The clinic is based out of the Rosaire House Addiction Centre and was developed in partnership with the Opaskwayak Health Authority.

 The service will provide support for adults seeking help with high-risk substance use and addiction.

The walk-in clinic will also assist people dealing with substance-related health concerns, including infections, hepatitis, and pancreatitis. No referral is required.

Northern Health Region says the clinic is intended to improve access to addictions treatment and mental health services across the tri-community area and beyond.
