Early Intervention Isn’t Optional — It’s Lifesaving
Delays in treatment for opioid use disorder can mean the difference between recovery and overdose. In a landscape dominated by fentanyl toxicity, referring early—even before a patient asks—is a key clinical responsibility for intervention. Arrow Medical removes the usual hurdles with walk-in access, no referral forms, and seven locations across Ontario. In other words, we make early intervention possible.
Why Earlier Is Better
Early referral improves retention in care, patient engagement, overdose prevention, mental health stabilization, and chronic disease outcomes. In fact, research consistently shows that the sooner a patient enters treatment, the better their chances of sustained recovery. Waiting until a patient “hits bottom” is outdated—and dangerous. Modern addiction medicine emphasizes harm reduction, engagement, and stabilization as early as possible.
What Early Intervention Can Look Like
Patients don’t need to be ready to quit completely or express motivation. They don’t need to hit a crisis point. They just need an opening—and a provider who recognizes that early stabilization saves lives.
Arrow Medical offers methadone, Kadian, Suboxone, Sublocade, and safe opioid supply programs, with walk-in access and same-day care.
