Frequently Asked Question
What is the goal of supervised consumption in Plaistow?
The primary goal is to support your recovery by ensuring you receive your medication in a safe, controlled manner. It helps build a daily routine, reduces the risk of missed doses, and provides a safety net where healthcare professionals can monitor your health regularly.
Is the service confidential?
Yes. Your privacy is a legal and professional priority. All supervised methadone in E13 takes place in a private or semi-private area away from other customers, and your status as a patient is never shared with anyone outside of your clinical care team without your consent.
What happens if I miss a dose at the pharmacy?
If you miss a dose, we are often required by law and clinical guidelines to notify your prescriber. If you miss three consecutive days, we may not be able to dispense your medication until you have been reassessed by your doctor or keyworker for safety reasons.
Can I change my pick-up times?
We try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate work or family commitments. Please speak with our pharmacist to agree on a time slot that works for both your schedule and the pharmacy’s clinical hours.
Do I need to pay for this service?
No. Supervised consumption is usually a commissioned service, meaning the support and supervision are free to the patient. If you pay for prescriptions, standard NHS charges may apply unless you are exempt.
