At my DDC they’re doing a scheme called R.I.O.T.T which I think stands for Random Injectable Opiate Testing Trial. Basically the clinic have chosen a group of people on a methodone program to be put forward. Some are been given injectable ‘NHS Heroin’ better known as diamorphine, some are given injectable methodone and the others (who are nodoubtably pissed off) are on methodone but its stronger than the usual stuff, well more condensed, for instance if someone was prescribed 100mls a day of the normal stuff on this scheme they would probably get 30mls of this!! This isn’t just for women but men too! I was asking my key worker whether or not it was working, if these people were giving negative samples, and apparently they are! So I mean if this is working then good luck to them, its the hardest thing ever getting off opiates, and if this scheme is making it any easier then I back it 100%!
This is only a trial and therefore if it is successful then I assume that the government will carry this on!
Wish I could have been put forward for it, but as I gave up digging gear 2 years ago, I don’t really think it’d be a good idea to start up again just to get the treatment!!!!:laugh_at:
Oh and these people are get £60 worth of shopping vouchers for doing it!!
