Suboxone Is Great, But Not For You

Answered by Yerachmiel Donowitz, LCPC,

Question

I am an alcoholic and I am also addicted to cocaine. I want to know if Suboxone will work for me. I know it won’t work for drinking but I think that if I could stop using cocaine I could also stop drinking so much.

Suboxone is designed for opiate addiction and not cocaine and as you know already, not for alcohol either. Cocaine is a tough drug to deal with. First focus on yor motivation to get clean, then seek a support group (CA would be best if available to you), there you can seek your next step.
