The Addiction Assistance Service, operated in association with Westover Treatment Centre of Thamesville, provides a toll free line to help those who are in need of assistance with their own alcohol, drug or gambling problems, or those who have been affected by the alcohol, drug or gambling problems of others. Qualified addictions counsellors provide support and/or refer callers to other agencies or self-help groups.
If immediate withdrawal management (detox) is needed, the counsellor will arrange for a bed in London or Windsor, with emergency transportation available from a trained volunteer driver. One of the goals of this service is to alleviate some of the barriers to treatment for youth, single mothers, the elderly and rural residents unable to access treatment on their own.
Addiction Assistance Service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week .
