Info
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, commonly known by its acronym CAMH (pronounced KAM-aytch), is a psychiatric teaching hospital with central facilities located in Toronto and ten community locations throughout the province of Ontario, Canada. The hospital was formed in 1998 from the amalgamation of four separate institutions. CAMH has a total of 530 inpatient beds with 3000 staff, physicians and scientists, and an annual operating budget of over $300 million. Its central facilities include 90 distinct services across inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, and partial hospitalization models. Several notable scientists conducted their research at CAMH (especially at its predecessor organization, the Clarke Institute for Psychiatry), yet CAMH's administration has come under criticism including from staff who report safety problems and from donors who withdrew their funding citing accountability problems. Among the clinical focuses of the hospital are the assessment and treatment of schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and addictions to alcohol, drugs, and problem gambling.
