(Moncton) March 1, 2019 - Both the detoxification unit and the space for opiate replacement services of Horizon Health Network's Addictions and Mental Health facility on Mapleton Road in Moncton will be undergoing repairs for approximately twelve weeks.

Detoxification Unit: The facility will be temporarily closed to new admissions from March 4, 2019 to the end of May. We encourage clients requiring service to call 856-2333 or 856-2444 to review their options during this time as there will be an alternate location at Horizon's The Moncton Hospital.

Opiate Replacement Services: It is anticipated that opiate replacement services will remain on site. Should this change as a result of the construction, further information will be provided at that time.

Anyone needing immediate assistance should call Tele-Care by dialing 811.

Horizon is committed to ensuring safe and quality care to our clients during this renovation period.
