Can I request a prescription for opioids?

As a virtual clinic, we do not prescribe opioids. Some may prescribe suboxone, kadian, and methadone to treat opiate addiction.

Can I request a specific doctor?
Yes, however our doctors are scheduled sporadically and may be a long wait for the

to continue care. We recommend you follow up with your family physician.
