Les services complets comprendront l'orientation vers des programmes cliniques et non cliniques, l'aide juridique, l'accès à des programmes clés d'aide au revenu, l'aide au logement, le conseil et l'évaluation des thérapies par agonistes opioïdes (TAO). L'EITCP est le fruit d'une collaboration entre la Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) et AIDS Programs South Saskatchewan (APSS).
