Each day presents new opportunities to demonstrate leadership and expertise in addictions to the community. ASCO embraces a holistic, biological, psychological, social and spiritual approach to addiction. A holistic approach places the person at the centre. The agency uses a harm reduction approach in addiction treatment and equally respects individuals who choose abstinence or harm reduction.

As well, ASCO is actively involved in several Ontario Health Teams, which has created even greater networks and referral pathways for individuals in need.

With the establishment of six** **withdrawal management beds in York Region, this 24/5 Bed-Based Withdrawal Management service will be an important one in the continuum of care for individuals seeking support for their addiction(s). Individuals who attend the withdrawal management bed-based services will be connected to withdrawal management professionals that are committed to provide the supports necessary during their stay and assist in connecting them to other programs and services upon discharge.
