The Rapid Access to Addiction Medicine (RAAM) clinics are now offering a new virtual resource for programs and clients. For those unfamiliar with RAAM, these clinics provide low-barrier, drop-in services for individuals seeking help with substance use and addiction. There are seven RAAM clinics in Manitoba: Winnipeg (3), Thompson, Brandon, Selkirk, and Portage la Prairie, each staffed with medical and allied health professionals.

Last year, the clinics launched virtual drop-in services through the Digital From Door (DFD) program. The DFD offers an option for individuals who face barriers to accessing in-person services, such as stigma, caregiving responsibilities, transportation issues, or physical mobility challenges. Service providers can also access support through the DFD.
