Addiction Treatment in Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia has seen a dramatic rise in opioid-related deaths, with over 150 deaths in 2023—
a five-fold increase since 2015. The province’s drug supply is increasingly contaminated with fentanyl
and benzodiazepines. Alcohol use disorder affects approximately 17% of Nova Scotians.
Nova Scotia Health operates the provincial addiction system, with strong urban services in Halifax but
rural access challenges. The province has expanded rapid-access addiction clinics and harm reduction services
in response to the opioid crisis.
