The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSUA) is a leading organization dedicated to research, education, and advocacy surrounding substance use and addiction in Canada. Committed to enhancing public health and safety, the CCSUA addresses a wide array of issues related to alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications, and illicit drugs such as opioids and methamphetamines.

Through comprehensive research initiatives—including 30 external projects funded by Health Canada—the center explores critical topics such as mental health implications, consumption trends, treatment options, and the impact of policy changes on addiction. The CCSUA also promotes workforce development by providing resources and training to support intervention skills in various communities.

With a focus on reducing stigma, increasing awareness, and informing evidence-based policies, the CCSUA empowers individuals and organizations to tackle addiction issues effectively. By fostering collaboration among stakeholders, the center aims to improve treatment outcomes and support recovery for those affected by substance use.
