First Step’s GPs
Your doctor forms the core of your support team at First Step, providing primary care, planning and referral. If required your doctor can formulate a Care Plan with you, connecting you to the services of a Psychologist and/or Mental Health Nurse at First Step and/or Pyschiatrist. Within this team care arrangement, your doctor can work with you on:
- Replacement pharmacotherapy (methadone, buprenorphine, suboxone or naltrexone)
- Reducing or ceasing your usage of illicit or prescription referring you to the relevant specialist or form of treatment
- Women’s health
- General medicine
