Common questions
What if I am in crisis right now?
Call or text 9-8-8 any time for suicide crisis support. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Avora does not provide emergency care. Please seek help now rather than waiting here.
Will I have a chance to talk to someone?
Your clinician reads your answers and may arrange a video visit, included in your fee.
How do you know an antidepressant is right for me?
Your clinician asks about your mood over time, including periods of unusually high energy, and reviews your health history.
What if I need more support?
Your clinician can recommend further care. Any additional review is included in the same review, at no extra charge.
What if I think ADHD is part of it?
Say so in your answers. Your clinician can help you decide whether the ADHD assessment is a useful next step.
How does delivery work?
Pick up at the partner pharmacy, or have a courier bring it. A courier needs someone 18 or older to sign at the door. There is no advance waiver.
Who delivers?
Where the pharmacy has its own driver, it delivers in that area. Canada Post is not used for controlled medications.
Can I pick the day?
You choose the delivery day. We remind you the evening before.
How fast do you reply?
Within the window shown on your request: up to 2 business days for a clinical review, 1 business day for a question, 3 business days for delivery or funding. Not around the clock.
Is it covered by OHIP?
Avora fees are paid privately, not covered by OHIP. Your workplace or private plan may reimburse part of it.
