Addiction Transitional Case Management

Addiction Transitional Case Managers (ATCMs) facilitate a seamless discharge process from hospital (London Health Sciences Centre and St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital) to community. ATCM’s ensure individuals have linkages to appropriate addiction-related services and supports upon discharge. Together, the client and the ATCM will work to create and implement a plan of care for enhancing stability and meeting the client’s most urgent addiction-related needs. This can include goals of abstinence, harm reduction and moderation. ATCMs support dignity and hope for change.
