So we were thinking about how to make that easier and in that wanted a name that was more descriptive of the service offered.”Opioid agonist therapy, also known as opioid addiction treatment, has been provided through this SHA-funded and operated addiction services clinic for approximately 20 years, using a combination of medication, counselling and other community supports.
