In order to become part of the ICCON program, clients must be engaging in harm reduction. Clients must identify if they have a healthy support system. The Navigator should also know if clients are currently attending any self-help programs or utilizing additional community services. Clients referred to the program must be safely housed and on an Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) program.
