would contain enough lethal doses to potentially kill more than 26 million people

  • Naltrexone: once a month injectable medication, blocks effects of opioids;
  • Methadone: long acting, once-daily, opioid from specially licensed programs;
  • Buprenorphine/naloxone: long acting, once daily/once monthly, opioid from prescriber offices
  • Psychosocial Therapies
  • Education, coping skills, relapse prevention, PDMP monitoring and toxicology screening
  • Recovery Services - Rebuilding One’s Life
  • Social supports to welcome into a healthy community: family, friends, peers, faith-based supports
