Breakaway Addiction Svc

It is a community-based addiction and mental health service at 21 Strickland Avenue in Toronto, operating on a harm-reduction approach rather than abstinence-only. It is also known as Breakaway Community Services.

Services include harm reduction outreach, the Satellite opiate agonist treatment program (methadone and Suboxone), one-to-one counselling and therapy, case management, housing support, family youth initiatives, grief and loss support, and a food bank and clothing program.

Services are free for people who use substances and are street-involved or in conflict with the law, including youth and adults. The opiate treatment program is for people with a verifiable opiate dependence, usually over a year.

The harm reduction outreach line is 416-234-1942 ext. 255. The office operates on weekdays; call ahead to confirm current hours and intake.
