Soon, more people in BC will be able to access addictions care faster and with fewer barriers.

Access Central is expanding from Vancouver Coastal Health into Fraser Health, Interior Health and Island Health. With one phone call, adults can connect to a nurse or trained clinician for assessment within 24 hours and a personalized substance-use care plan. Supports may include medication, outpatient services, detox or counselling, based on individual needs.

Later this year, the service will expand to Northern Health, making it available province-wide.

Access Central services are available 7 days a week at:
• Fraser Health: 1-833-866-6478 from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM
• Interior Health 1-866-777-1103 from 9 AM to 4:30 PM
