Addiction services to be restructured MITCHELL - Recommendations for the restructuring of addiction treatment services in Southwestern Ontario will be the subject of a community consultation to be held at the Mitchell Community Gei►tre, 7 to 9 pp., January 22. The Huron Perth District Health Council is arranging the consulta- --tion for residents of Huron and Perth counties. The recommenda- tions have been drafted by an exter- nal consultant engaged by the Min- istry of Health. Residents of the district who are interested in the provision of ac- cessible and effective addiction ser- vices are encouraged to obtain a copy of the consultant's draft report and attend the consultation. Copies of the report are available from the District Health Council office at 519-348-4498. The goal of restructuring, accord- ing to the Honorable Jim Wilson, Minister of Health at the time of the inception of the project, is "to improve addiction treatment servic- es in each of Ontario's Regional Health Planning Areas by achiev- ing savings, recommending reallo- cation of savings to address gaps, and restructuring services to meet the needs of special population groups." In achieving this goal, considera- tion will be given to strategies to improve the capacity, accessibility, efficiency, comprehensiveness and effectiveness ot'services. Restructuring planning began November 1, 1996 when the re- gional consultant was engaged, and is anticipated to be completed by February 28, 1997. Currently, there are two dedicat- ed addiction treatment services in the district, Huron Addiction As- sessment and Referral Centre, sponsored by the Huron County Health Unit, and Perth Addiction Centre Inc., an independent agen- cy. Both offer assessment, referral and treatment services in a number of locations in their respective counties. In addition, many individuals with addictions receive treatment from physicians and hospitals with- in the district. Short and long term residential programs in London and Owen Sound are used by some district residents for detoxification, with- drawal and recovery. Preliminary discussion has taken place with re- gard to the development of a less costly and less disruptive home withdrawal management program which would be appropriate for a number of local consumers. Other needs identified in the dis- trict include enhancement of youth addiction services, the provision of addiction services to women, the expansion of group treatment pro- grams and the development of out- reach services addressing the needs Smoke-free dining in Huron County HURON COUNTY - January 22, is "Weedless Wednesday". Huron County residents will have more choices for eating out in a smoke- free restaurant when 48 local res- taurants provide smoke-free dining . for the day. Sponsored by the. Hu- ron County Smoke-free Coalition, this "Smoke-free For The Day" event encourages restaurant owners to contribute to "clearing the air' for customers by reducing exposure to second-hand smoke. On January 22, you can dine smoke-free in any of the restaurants listed below. Exeter - Ranch House & Saloon, McDonalds*, Tasty Nu 'Bakery*, Tim Horton's*, New Orleans Piz- za*, Kentucky Fried Chicken.* Brucefield - Millington's*. Zu- rich - Myrtle's Pantry*. *These premises offer smoke- free dining every day. According to Deedee Herman, executive director of The Lung As- sociation, Huron Perth Counties, "Second-hand smoke is more than just a nuisance - it is harmful for everyone exposed to it. Participat- ing restaurants will not only be pro- tecting the health of their custom- ers, but also providing customers with the kind of dining environ- ment they want" says Herman. A 1990 survey of Huron County resi- dents showed that 92 per cent sup- port smoking restrictions in restau- rants. Second-hand smoke, also known ., as environmental tobacco smoke, spreads rapidly throughout rooms and buildings and stays in the' air for long periods of time. Children are particularly affected by second - .hand smoke.. Childreh of parents who smoke have more ear infec-, tions, asthma attacks, bronchitis and pneumonia and have reduced lung function. If you are around smokers, the air you breathe could be the same ass smoking two cigarettes a day: The good news is that more people are trying to ensure that the air they. breathe is smoke-free. •On Wednes- day, January 22, show your support , for smoke-free spaces by eating out at the restaurants participating in the Weedless Wednesday event.
