Opioid Addiction Treatment Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is based on a patient-centred approach to care. The patient’s past medical history, medications, allergies and general history are crucial to the choice of OAT. Four potential pharmaceutical approaches exist for OAT: methadone, slow-release oral morphine (SROM/Kadian®), Suboxone® and Sublocade®. The most effective treatment is the one that relieves opioid cravings and withdrawal in the absence of significant side-effects or complications.Learn More

The first step is booking an appointment at one of our clinic locations. During your initial visit, our medical team conducts a confidential assessment of your health, substance use history, and personal circumstances. From there, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. No referral is required.

Methadone is a long-acting opioid agonist taken as a daily supervised dose. It reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal, helping patients stabilize and focus on recovery. Dosing is adjusted by your physician, and take-home carries may become available as treatment progresses. Learn More

Suboxone® (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a partial opioid agonist taken as a sublingual film or tablet. It reduces cravings and withdrawal with a lower risk of sedation than full agonists. Many patients are eligible for take-home prescriptions once stabilized. Learn More

Addiction is a chronic medical condition that affects the brain’s reward, motivation, and memory systems. It is not a moral failing or a lack of willpower. Effective treatment addresses the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to substance use disorder.

Contact our clinic by phone or through our online booking system to schedule your first appointment. No referral is needed in most cases. Our team will guide you through the intake process and help you understand what to expect.

We maintain connections with community organizations, government programs, and support networks across Ontario. Our team can help connect you with housing support, employment services, legal aid, and other resources that support your recovery journey.
