Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse / Centre canadien de lutte contre l’alcoolisme et les toxicomanies

National Summer Institute on Addictions / Le Symposium estival national sur les toxicomanies

The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) is Canada's national addictions agency. Established by an Act of Parliament in 1988, the Centre provides objective, evidence-based information and advice aimed at reducing the health, social and economic harm associated with substance abuse and addictions. This summer’s Institute was designed for professionals in the substance abuse, health, mental health, social services, criminal justice, and corrections fields who have an understanding of the issues pertaining to the assessment and treatment of alcohol and other drug clients and who are, or expect to be, affected by the integration of addiction services with other services, such as primary health care, mental health, social services, or criminal justice. The aim of the Institute is to provide these professionals with information on evidence-based approaches to service integration, and with opportunities to consider application and implementation issues at the systems and service levels.
