Veralife offers comprehensive Opiate Dependence Treatment for people who have an addiction to opiate based drugs such as Fentanyl, Heroin, Oxycontin, Morphine, Percocet, Codeine, Afeem, and Doda. To date, Methadone Maintenance Treatment Programs as well as Buprenorphine Treatment Plans have been the most successful means of treating opiate addiction. They have been shown to be much more successful when compared to going “cold turkey” for long term success.
The mission of the program is to provide harm reduction and a continuum of care to those dependent on opioids in a confidential and discreet environment. That’s why we are located within a Family Practice office. No one else will know why you are in the clinic. It could be for a cold, blood pressure check or a physical. The stigma that is associated with Methadone and Suboxone is not present at our clinic. In addition, studies have shown that individuals treated in a private family practice setting do better and are more satisfied with the care that they received.
The physicians and staff of Veralife are dedicated to optimizing Opiate Dependence Treatment and work in partnership with clients, community partners, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia and the Ministry of Health in order to offer the best possible overall treatment for each client.
