Medical care, not a lecture

Your body adapted. Treatment works with that, not against it.

Opioid dependence changes how the brain handles pain and reward. Medication-supported treatment is the most effective approach we have, and it’s far safer than quitting cold.

Medication options, explained
Buprenorphine (Suboxone), methadone, and how starting one actually works.
Withdrawal and cravings managed
A plan for the sick days, the sleepless nights, and the urges that follow.
Pain taken seriously
If it began with an injury or surgery, the pain is part of the plan too.

Does any of this sound familiar?

You don’t need to have lost everything to deserve care.

  • Running out of your prescription early
  • Needing more to get the same relief
  • Aches, sweats, and restlessness when you go without
  • Buying pills when the prescription stopped
  • Planning your day around when you can use
  • Scared about what’s really in what you’re taking

Quitting cold is the hardest, riskiest way to do this.

On your own
Days of withdrawal with nothing to ease it
Lower tolerance afterwards, so a relapse is more dangerous
The pain or stress that started it is still there

Questions people ask before booking

No. You don’t need to be clean, in withdrawal, or sure about anything. Your physician starts from where you are today and works out a safe pace from there.

Your physician will talk through opioid agonist treatment, including buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone, whether it fits you, and how to get started safely. It’s the most effective treatment for opioid dependence.

No. Stopping suddenly isn’t safe. Your physician looks at the pain and the dependence together, and any change happens gradually, with your agreement.

Your record is confidential under PIPEDA and Alberta’s Health Information Act. We don’t share it with your employer, family, or police without your consent. There’s no charge, so nothing appears on any statement.

Yes, with a valid Alberta Health Card. Physician visits and follow-ups are billed to the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan, like a walk-in clinic. No credit card at booking. Counselling is optional and private pay at $150 per session.

No. You book directly. If a psychiatrist would help, our physicians refer internally to our own team, so there’s no outside waitlist.

One private hour. $0. A real plan for getting off opioids safely.

Covered by your Alberta Health Card. Book yourself, no referral needed.
