From what I've seen, people who swap a fentanyl addiction or time it was probably heroin and

For a methadone addiction, they don't really seem to be terribly happy people.

Suboxone is usually paired with buprenorphine, which is an opioid blocker.

The overdose risk is way lower than with methadone.

There's some addiction potential and some overdose potential, but it's much, much safer.

Naltrexone is interesting because it blocks receptors.

There's zero chance of an overdose.

In fact, opioids won't even work if you're taking Naltrex.

I believe Naltrex is what's in Narcan, which I am going to take two seconds to say I carry with me everywhere and you should as well.

Yeah.

Even a quote unquote guilty party.

Like I don't want them overdosing.

Yeah, it's the rehab podcast.

We did all this on the rehab podcast, but, you know... That's right.

Carry that thing on you, because you never know when you're gonna need it and potentially save somebody's life, and, you know, maybe the next day they go back to being a drug addict, but...

Maybe the next day they get clean.

Yeah.

The issue here, to get back to what we were talking about, which was naltrexone, the issue with that is that it's only for people who have detoxed, which, beyond being unpleasant, can also be dangerous.

People die during detox, depending on their level of addiction.

It's cheap, I think is one big reason.
