im not sure id encourage the use of full diamorphine for this id argue using straight morphine is sufficient, its also cheaper for the service to provide (also cheaper than the likes of methadone too as far as im aware)
- tim333 8y agoReduces the chance of them using black market stuff though. I'm not sure the actual cost of the legal diamorphine is much in the scheme of things. Update: "The cost of a year's diamorphine treatment for an addict is about £15,000, although this includes administering and supervising the injections." Compare: "CEA estimates that in 2015, the economic cost of the [US] opioid crisis was $504.0 billion, or 2.8 percent of GDP that year." And 33,000 deaths. It can be worth intervening to stop these things going exponential.
