Treatment anywhere in alberta
Opioid Replacement Services Virtually Anywhere In Alberta
Larger Centers like Calgary and Edmonton have stand alone opioid dependency programs. All other communities in Alberta can access the Rural Opioid Dependency Program from Alberta Health Services.
Communities Without Opioid Dependency Programs
Because most communities don't have an opioid addiction clinic, you can get treatment by telehealth (video conferencing) through the Rural Opioid Dependency Program, an Alberta Health Services Initiative. Appointments are covered by Alberta healthcare. Call 1-844-383-7688 or click the link for more information.
