Bus passes used to get to clinics will now only be good for 18 months.
Dingwell tells CHSJ News it was a cost saving measure by the province but it will cost us more in the long run because treatment will be curtailed and patients will relapse.
She says it's about 5-thousand dollars a year to treat someone at the clinic while an untreated person could cost us 45-thousand dollars in healthcare and legal costs.
She adds someone kicking their drug habit after only 18 months of treatment is very unlikely.
