How Long Does Suboxone Treatment Take?
How bad is a Suboxone Detox? I went through a few weeks of Hell long ago jumping off methadone and, like an idiot; here I am in the same position again. I’m sick to death of this life once again. I won’t do methadone again and I can’t afford to stay on Suboxone for too long. How long should I budget for and what kind of detox can I expect when I jump off at the end?

Read answer →Oxycontin Problem and Pain
I was prescribed Oxycontin 11 months ago after hurting my back badly working construction. I will not deny that I liked these medicines and took them more than I should have and for a while everything was OK. Now, my doctor won’t give me as much as I need anymore and it is a big problem for me because if I don’t get what I need my pain is out of control. I taught my kids to stay away from drugs my whole life and it is humiliating for me to be walking around street corners buying drugs like a criminal but I do not know what else to do. I feel like my doctor gave me these drugs in the first place and got me in this situation and now he won’t do anything to help. Now he only gives me tiny prescriptions that are not even close to what I need. I know that I am addicted but I cannot tell him because if I do he won’t prescribe to me anymore and then I will be in even bigger trouble. I am spending everything I have just to get enough to make it through the day. How can I stop using the only thing that gives me any pain relief and without the pills I can’t make it out of bed in the morning? Can I get some sort of rehab treatment so that the dose I need goes down but where I can still take the pills I need for pain?

Read answer →Suboxone while Working Part of the Year in Canada
I am opiate addicted but ready to quit the lifestyle. I am an American but I work in Canada for periods of up to 2 to 3 months at a time in the logging industry. In the past, I have had no problem scoring dope while up north, but this time I actually want to stay clean. I am thinking about Suboxone but I have to go up north again in about 6 weeks. Will a doctor be able to prescribe me enough Suboxone to last me for my work abroad periods? Will I have a problem getting it across the border? It would be ironic if I managed to avoid arrest after years of scoring dope only to get arrested for trying to get clean…
Read answer →Is It Advisable to Get Son off Methadone
My son is a morphine addict. He has contracted hepC from this. I have been paying for the methadone clinic for him now for about 16 months. He was recently laid off his job and will be homeless in a couple of weeks. I cannot afford to pay for the clinic much longer. Is there a chance of finding a rehab for him to get him off the methadone? Is this an advisable move? He has no insurance & I certainly can't pay for an expensive clinic. Help!
