Full coverage of the medications — known as opioid agonists — will be available to all B.C. residents with an active medical services plan.
Health Minister Adrian Dix said in a news release issued Wednesday that full coverage of the medications will be available to all B.C. residents with an active medical services plan.
Opioid agonist treatment involves the use of medications such as methadone, and the ministry said it is distinct from safer supply, in which"pharmaceutical alternatives to illicit drugs" are prescribed in order to initially separate people from the toxic street-drug market. The move comes amid pushback from B.C. health officials against criticism of the province's safe supply program and drug policies by federal Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre and others.
