Launch of Consumption and Treatment Services Fund: Preventing overdose deaths and improving health With the launch of an opioid response hub in the former Grey...hound bus station in Peterborough, organizing partners are calling on community members to invest in establishing a Consumption and Treatment Services (CTS) site. A CTS welcomes people to use their drugs safely under trained supervision and be connected to other life-saving supports. Partners are seeking approval of Provincial funding for a CTS but this will take many months. Help is needed to retain this ideal property and to do professional studies needed for the application. There have been 36 suspected overdose deaths in the first nine months of 2020; there were 28 deaths in all of 2019. Our public health unit area has the third highest rate of opioid overdose deaths and emergency room visits in the province. The COVID pandemic has increased the risk of overdose as it has created more desperation, isolation, and an even more toxic drug supply.
