A one-of-a-kind program for opioid users in Ottawa is not only helping them manage their addiction by feeding it, but giving them a safe place to live while they're undergoing the treatment.

The managed opioid program (MOP), launched last August, provides participants with controlled amounts of pharmaceutical-grade narcotics, replacing street drugs that could be laced with deadly substances such as fentanyl.

It's tailored toward those who have failed at other treatment programs and have run out of options.

Twenty five people are currently taking part, and the wait list has grown to more than 50.

Participants live in an apartment building in Hintonburg, where they receive round-the-clock care from medical professionals including nurses and personal support staff.

im very surprised legal weed hasn't taken a hit under him. He's trying but doesn't seem to be making headway. But just imagine the money he coudld make for his bribers if they started jailing people for weed again.

You could have 52% of the coutnry in prison...private prison industries dream come true. And don't think they don't want that to happen
