About this service
"Nurse prescribing of OAT is important in providing a readily accessible option for medical treatment for at-risk clientele in the midst of an opioid crisis. Nurse prescribing is different because service is not dependent on medical coverage, and is not dependent on regular service hours (i.e., Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. 4 p.m.). It also offers the possibility of comprehensive and supportive follow-up care. This 'supportive, in-the-moment care' model offered by nurse prescribers improves the probability of successful treatment initiation and treatment retention."
