ADAPT was founded in 1975 as a pilot project of the Addiction Research Foundation. Based on the pilot’s successful outcome, ADAPT was incorporated as the first community addictions treatment agency in Ontario. Today, the ADAPT program has grown from a small, single site agency to one of the largest and most diversified treatment agencies in Ontario. ADAPT now offers a full spectrum of services to clients experiencing concerns with addictions, mental health or concurrent disorders, as well as to their families and loved ones. The mission of ADAPT is to help those affected by alcohol, drugs and gambling, or persons at risk of being affected, in the least intrusive and most cost efficient way possible. ADAPT is dedicated to empowering persons with alcohol, drug and/or gambling concerns, and their families, to manage these concerns and to lead fulfilling lives through the provision of comprehensive assessment and treatment services, corresponding to need.
