Segue Clinic

Accessibility  Since 2003, we have provided rapid access to addiction treatment for opioids (RAAM delivery model) in the community.  Our clinics assess 98% of people on the same day that they present at the clinic to see if they are eligible for our treatment programs. New patients are started on medication that same day.  Flexible hours (evening and Saturday mornings) ensure easy access our programs.

Integration  94% are connected with high-quality medical and psychosocial services such as CASON and QUEST CHC.  In partnership with different community agencies, Segue Clinic has brought the Smart Recovery initiative to the Niagara Region.  We will also connect you to the closest partner pharmacy which dispenses Methadone and Suboxone.  This partnership will ensure the best hours of access, (including on-call access between the pharmacy and the physician if needed), as well as ensure high quality of care and convenience.

Retention  The majority of our patients not only stop using opioids, but markedly decrease their use of other drugs including alcohol.  Once stabilized and abstinent, 90% had improved housing and 80% had better jobs. Almost all the patients in remission or recovery report an improvement in social and family relationships.

Advocacy  We can advocate for you if there is a drug related justice issues.  Drug courts look favorably on participants who are abstinent and in programs. We can also, if needed, work with agencies such as Family and Children's Services (FACS). Families can remain together when abstinence is demonstrated and people in need are supported.
