Clinician Testimonial
❝ I have been working in addiction medicine for nearly 20 years and have been watching [Canada’s] overdose epidemic spiral out of control. For all of us on the front lines, it is clear that we need more addiction medicine services, for more patients, in more communities. But the traditional hospital-based outpatient clinic where I was working was ill-equipped to deal with this rapidly changing health crisis.
Before working with Casel, the best I could do was to help a small group of patients near my clinic. Thanks to Casel's innovative TEEMAP approach, I am now able to provide addiction medicine care to patients in communities and neighborhoods across the province. ❞
Community Affiliate Testimonial
❝ Casel opened an addiction medicine program in our town. Prior to that, the nearest addiction medicine program was a one-hour drive away. Many of the addiction-medicine patients in our community needed to make this drive once or even twice a week. Not only was this drive time consuming, it was incredibly expensive. Our town has no bus service, so Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services was paying for each of these patients to take a taxi cab to the addiction program an hour away.
The estimated cost of cab fares alone for these patients was over $700,000 per year. By implementing a program in our community, Casel is saving taxpayers close to $700,000 a year. ❞
