THE J HEALTHCARE INITIATIVE
A Canadian Registered Non-Profit Initiative to END the TOXIC DRUG CRISIS
A little summary of the BIG problem
The Solution...
Person-Centered, Incremental Enhanced Care
Substance use healthcare should be available regardless of individual's goal of treatment and their intentions to live without substances. While some benefit from abstinence-based interventions and buprenorphine as the first line of treatment, there are others who prefer to be on a maintenance program or experience a euphoric effects from opioids without risking their lives to the illicit, unregulated opioids. We recognize the expertise of people who use opioids including women and gender expansive people.
DIACETYLMORPHINE ASSISTED TREATMENT
The J Healthcare Initiative advocates for special access programs to provide injectable and inhalable Diacetylmorphine (DAM) to individuals who use illicit opioids and have failed first-line treatment. By offering Heroin Assisted Therapy (HAT) as a harm reduction approach, we aim to reduce drug-toxicity deaths and help individuals lead fulfilling lives.
