ANOTHER STEP BEING TAKEN TO DEAL WITH THE OPIOID ADDICTION THAT TAKEN THE U-S HOSTAGE. AT 5PM ON MONDAY, JANUARY 22ND. BERNALILLO COUNTY’S ADDICTION TREATMENT ADVISORY BOARD MEETS TO BEGIN THE EXPLORATORY PHASE TO UPDATE THE MDC’S METHADONE INDUCTION PROGRAM. THEY’LL ALSO INTRODUCE THE NOTION OF A SUBOXONE INDUCTION PROGRAM AT THE JAIL, BUT ADVISORY BOARD DIRECTOR KATRINA HOTRUM-LOPEZ SAYS THAT’S NOT WITHOUT SOME DEGREE OF RESEARCH.
HOW MANY INMATES WOULD BENEFIT FROM SUBOXONE AND HOW DOES THE COUNTY PAY FOR SUCH A PROGRAM. OTHER QUESTIONS BEING RAISED WILL HOPEFULLY ANSWER HOW MANY PEOPLE COME INTO THE JAIL ALREADY ON SUBOXONE.
