Opioid Recovery

Ferry Road Pharmacy works alongside the DHB methadone programme known as Christchurch Opioid Recovery Service. Pharmacy staff can administer methadone on a daily, or a takeaway basis, depending on what has been agreed. 

Our experienced pharmacists are used to building rapport with regular clientele and have a discrete area in which to provide the service. We provide a non-judgemental service that recognises the potential damage stigma may cause this group of health consumers, their families, and significant others

Our model of care facilitates client centred, recovery and well-being focused approaches to OST. We are responsive to the needs of clients, their whanau and our community
