Opioids such as hydromorphone, diacetylmorphine and fentanyl will be offered at licensed Opioid Dependency Program clinics run by Alberta Health Services in a new narcotics transition program.
Dr. Nathaniel Day, medical director of the Virtual Opioid Dependency Program, said the program has new spaces and new resources to provide care to people that have not been able to access it in the past. Narcotic transition services will be available immediately at OPD clinics in Edmonton and Calgary, while the program is expected to expand to clinics in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer and Grande Prairie in the coming months.
