Anyone here know if the RIOTT (Randomised Injectable Opiate Treatment Trial) in Brighton has closed down? I heard somewhere that they lost their funding and as I used to work for em I was saddened to hear that. God knows what the clients are having to do now to keep up with the sort of dosages some of them were on!
As for me, it's been no heroin since July 2012 so things are going good. My little girl has been the main motivator for the change but I can truly say life has got better since. Don't mean to put anyone down who still uses as I've not walked a foot in anyone else's shoes and wouldn't begin to judge for a second. I rarely pot on here nowadays as I have no real need to but I do check in pretty regularly. Back working as a psych nurse too but under a conditions of practice code form the NMC - runs out in Feb 2016 - so when that's done it's all behind me. If it hadn't been for knocking myself unconscious on my bike on the way to score one afternoon I don't know wherer 'd be at (the first thing I said to the doc when I came around was "I'm a heroin addict and I'm going to withdraw soon, can I have some morphine?")!!
