↵* The approximate amount of time the program was available for clients per day (may include closure for staff breaks or handover sessions).
↵† Staff available during all opening hours and providing the foundation for day-to-day operations. Other staff (e.g., physician, psychiatrist, dietitian) were available at varying times.
↵‡ Available iOAT medications: liquid HDM, liquid DAM (medical heroin) and tHDM.
↵§ Several dose access structures were in use: open = clients attended any time, group = clients were allocated to a treatment group with specified times, booking = clients received individual appointments.
↵¶ The Columbia Street Community Clinic and the Vancouver Native Health Clinic shared a single community pharmacy partner for maintenance doses; these data represent the pharmacy characteristics only.
↵** As clinically indicated during acute care admission; iOAT dose administered directly by nursing staff.
