Yes, we can treat other addictions, come in and see a physician

Absolutely yes! If you are carrying a child it is advised that you seek treatment as quickly as possible. Opiate use and withdrawals can be dangerous for your baby. Methadone helps to suppress these feelings and is a safe choice to manage your opiate dependency while you are pregnant.

Mixing your methadone or suboxone with other forms of mood altering drugs, alcohol, opiates, barbiturates or other forms of substances can have serious and even fatal consequences. Make sure you consult with your physician prior to taking any medications

With consultation and permission from your physician, you can change between suboxone & methadone. Changing between these medications can lead to additional withdrawal symptoms.

These medications are both ideal for clients with varying circumstances. Your social circumstances, medical and treatment history and even your potential preference can dictate which medication form is the most effective. Your physician consultation will help to discover the ideal form of treatment for your specific needs.

There are numerous clinics available around Alberta and potentially an affiliate clinic available wherever you are traveling. Make sure to provide travel notice to our staff serval days before your departure, so that we are able to make the necessary arrangements.

No, you will never be turned away from the program. At ACT medical, we believe in the Harm Reduction approach to therapy so we do not ask clients to leave the program.

Take home doses of your treatment are often referred to as “carries”. There is no set time frame for receiving carries. Your physician can begin to allow you to utilize carries once stability is achieved. Carries can be administered from one take-home dose per four weeks, up to six take-home doses per week.

Yes, it is recommended that you visit the clinics on a daily basis to receive your medication. After some time, you can begin to receive “carries”, or take home doses so that you no longer need daily clinic visits. Our medical professional staff is also available at the clinics to help with any of your program questions or concerns.

There is no right answer to this question. Every client’s journey towards recovery and relief is different. Some clients stay on the program for several years, while others are lifelong patients. To display legitimate stabilization, clients are recommended to remain in the program for at leats 12 months. Aspects of personal growth (employment, increase financial stability and less legal issues) should also be considered. Before considering your treatment consult a physician. A physician can help clients understand the safest and most effective way to begin the treatment while promoting the least likelihood of withdrawal.

Children & Family Services are only contacted if we are to believe that a child under the age of 16 is in harms way. This is simply our professional duty and ACT Medical will never immediately or automatically inform them when you sign-up for treatment.

All Levitee Clinic™ services and client information is kept completely confidential. Clients will never have to worry about their families, employers or other third-party becoming aware that they are receiving these treatments. Levitee Clinics™ will never release this information unless we are court ordered or have received evidence from the authorities showcasing that releasing this information will prevent some form of personal or external harm. All of these instances will be completely discussed during your initial consultation.

As long as you provide a valid Alberta Health Care Card, your clinic sessions will be completely covered. Some special forms and letter submission that are not covered can require your direct payment.

Many clients are able to start receiving doses the same day that they first meet with their physician. The physicians approval could be postponed a few days. This is done to ensure that we are only starting you on doses when it is completely safe.

This varies between clinics though every effort is made to ensure that it is as soon as resources allow.

The initial sign-up process should take about 45 minutes to an hour. You have an initial assessment with one of our qualified staff. Following the initial assessment, you will need to undergo some blood work and an ECG, as well as provide a urine sample.

We want to make you sign up process as efficient as possible. All you will need to bring a valid health care card and a form of photo ID for your initial sign-up process.
