Due to the current COVID-19 situation we have made a number of changes to our service. We have stopped direct access drop in clinics. You can contact the service by phoning 01382 632542. Where possible, routine appointments are being replaced by telephone appointments.
We are supporting those who are self isolating or shielding to continue treatment with methadone or buprenorphine. You can access naloxone and injection equipment from your community pharmacy, the Cairn Centre or by post. Further information available here.

We have completed our Direct Access Test of Change. From October 2019, we had a prescriber available at one of our direct access clinics and from December 2019, prescribers were available at both of our clinics. We have been providing city-wide same day prescribing to Dundee from December 2019.
Please continue to drop in to our clinics for assessment, we look forward to meeting you.

We are testing a change at our Direct Access service clinics on one clinic each week. This will provide the opportunity to see a prescriber at Direct Access rather than returning for a prescriber appointment another day. This means you can be assessed for opiate substitution treatment (OST,) or for alcohol detox and if indicated prescribed the same day. Dispensing will then be arranged at the community pharmacy.
