You might try contacting the Ontario Federation of Community Mental Health
and Addiction programs. Its web address is www.ofcmhap.on.ca. The name of
the E.D. is Chris Higgins, hopefully he might be able to provide you with
some information.

Subject: programs merging


Greetings from the beautiful Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia.

I am looking for research papers, opinion pieces or other material on the
merging of addiction programs with those of mental health.  The addiction
program I am working with is faced with the possible amalgamation with the
mental health program in the region.

Any one have any references or thoughts related to another similar
amalgamation in another province?
