Toronto opens 36-bed drug withdrawal center to combat rising overdose deaths and homelessness.

Toronto has opened a new 36-bed drug withdrawal center, funded by the Ministry of Health and run by Unity Health Toronto. The center, which is often full, offers private and shared rooms, meals, laundry, and recreational areas, along with 24-hour counseling and nursing support. It aims to provide a dignified environment for recovery, addressing the province's severe shortage of detox beds and the rise in drug-related deaths, especially among the homeless.
