NZNO nurses, healthcare assistants and some midwives plan to strike from 9am on Wednesday 30 July to 9am on Thursday 31 July. Patient safety is our priority and our hospitals will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments unless we have contacted you directly to reschedule.
Auckland opioid treatment service (AOTS) offers fully funded methadone or buprenorphine and naloxone for people dependent on opioids. Through medication and support people can achieve stability in their lives.
You can call Auckland opioid treatment service by phone 09 815 5841
We aim to see people within 2 weeks of their first contact with us. This depends on the availability of doctors and how many people are seeking treatment at that time. The nurse at your local unit will be able to tell you if there are any wait times and how long that might be.
Call us or complete our online form if you have feedback, complaints or need to message us about an appointment.
