Ontario has launched nine Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hubs as part of a legislative shift away from supervised drug consumption sites, particularly near schools. These hubs aim to provide recovery and treatment for addiction and mental health without consuming drugs. Despite funding increases, advocates express concern that this abstinence-focused approach may lead to higher mortality rates due to the toxic drug supply. While an injunction temporarily allowed for the consumption sites to remain open, the province decided to proceed with closures, creating up to 28 HART hubs overall, fostering a new model of care.
Ontario's decision to open nine Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hubs shifts from supervised drug consumption sites to a model focused on abstinence and treatment.
The HART hubs are designed to provide access to essential recovery and treatment services without offering drug consumption services, amidst a criticized legislative change.
