Local questions

Visiting our Vancouver clinic

Can I walk in without calling first?
Yes. Vancouver is our walk in location. Arriving before 4:00 PM gives our team the best chance of completing an assessment and starting treatment the same day, because a first visit usually takes ninety minutes or more.
What should I bring to a first visit?
A piece of photo identification and your BC Services Card if you have them. If you do not have identification, come anyway. We can begin an assessment and help you sort out coverage afterwards. It also helps to know the name and address of the pharmacy you would like to use.
Do you take patients who are not from Vancouver?
Yes. Patients travel to us from across the region, and we regularly arrange for people assessed in Vancouver to have their medication dispensed at a pharmacy closer to home.
Do I need a referral to be seen in Vancouver?
No. You can walk in or call us directly, and most of our patients do not have a family doctor. A referral from a doctor or pharmacy is welcome but never required.
Can I start Suboxone or methadone the same day?
Usually, yes. Methadone has no induction window, so a first dose can often be taken the same day at your pharmacy. Suboxone needs its first dose timed to your last opioid use; with fentanyl that usually means a low dose start, which we plan with you at the assessment.
What does treatment cost at the Vancouver clinic?
Nothing, in most cases. Your appointments are billed to MSP, and both medications are covered by BC PharmaCare for most residents. If you have no coverage or no ID, come in anyway and we will sort it out at the first visit rather than turn you away.
