Provides oral and injectable buprenorphine and methadone in an outpatient clinic setting. Program is designed to provide a higher level of support, which includes outreach for people who are unable to come to the clinic for appointments and daily medication monitoring for clients who do not want to take their medications home.   Priority is placed on highly vulnerable clients who have co-occurring mental illness, poly substance use and/or are experiencing homelessness.   Same day induction is possible for highly motivated clients. Program goal is to provide the prescription same day, but that is subject to prescriber availability. If prescriber is unavailable then the assessment will be done that day and clients will return a few days later for their prescription.  Same day induction currently works best for clients that have scheduled intake appointments.
