Opioid Medication Withdrawal Consultation
An initial consultation regarding opioid medication withdrawal has 2 parts: a clinical focus on detox part and a general well being part. Both parts are necessary to support you on your path to recovery.
The initial consultations are followed by weekly short phone appointments and monthly follow up appointments.
