The most effective evidence-based treatment for opioid addiction combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — methadone or buprenorphine — with psychological support, keyworking, and structured aftercare. Methadone and buprenorphine reduce withdrawal symptoms, eliminate cravings, and dramatically reduce overdose death risk. Both are free on the NHS in Exminster.

Naloxone (Narcan) can reverse an opioid overdose in minutes and is available free from needle exchanges and pharmacies in Exminster without a prescription. If you or someone you know uses opioids, please carry naloxone — it saves lives.
