[HARMRED] Fwd: FW: CESAR FAX: IDUs More Likely to Use Diverted Buprenorphine to Self-Medicate

[Lieving, Bernard, DOH]

to "prevent" "unwanted" kinds of diversion...



sublingual administration does not activate narcan...try to inject it and one gets a nice blast of withdrawal symptoms...



suboxone is often used in jails and prisons to get "high," and it works if the person is opiate naive...
