The clinical studies conducted by the team of Dr Didier Jutras-Aswad aim to improve intervention and prevention strategies for drug addiction and mental health disorders. Clinical studies are trials on individuals carried out according to a safe protocol in order to analyze, evaluate and predict the effects of a specific management method for the treatment of specific physical and mental health disorders. All this in order to help people concerned in an optimal way. They therefore aim to improve, refine and create new methods of care, thus guaranteeing the effectiveness of the treatments available to date.
My experience with OPTIMA – I found it very interesting, then I found it very pleasant. The staff have always been very kind, welcoming and polite. It allowed me to be able to take responsibility for my problem, to solve it without having to go through difficult things. I was able to keep my job, and it was very important for me to be able to keep my job and to have access to treatment as easily as possible. And at the same time, it’s nice to be able to answer your questions and if it can help other people in the future who are in the same situation as me, well it’s nice.
