ALERT!!! NEW 1X A MONTH OPIATE BLOCKER
Taking Pint to her counselor today. Since her mother is an addict, I have her see a high level counselor who is also an AOD (addiction specialist) counselor. The counselor told me the FDA just approved the use of VIVITROL, a once a month intramuscular injection for opiate addicts. The medication is an opiate antagonist (blocks opiate receptors in the brain). Vivitrol cannot be abused. It is not addictive. It cannot be gotten except in a doctors office. You cannot take it home. you go in once a month for the shot. It has an 86% rate of success.

Dawn,
ReplyDeleteHow do you want me to link it. Do you want a direct link or would you rather I copy and paste. I know your blog is private so I don't want you to get flooded with requests.
If you want me to copy and paste I will take out anything about your granddaughter, Pint.
E-mail me in the morning, teamplayer@aol.com.
This is good news and I be happy to spread the word. If you want to chat call me, 913-909-2810.

ReplyDeleteGod bless.

ReplyDeleteI sent this info to heroin addicted daughter. Probably a waste of time, but....
Now that Blake is back in rehab for the minute, I am going to print the information out on it. It would probably be the safest place to have him start I would think??? If he is or does stay clean in there? Thanks for sharing this - I have not heard of it anywhere until you posted a comment on my blog. You are awesome Dawn.
