It depends on what she is addicted to, you can call around to some hospitals that have rehab. I recommend going to a hospital & going through there rehab because you are only there a few day & you’ll be clean. 🙂    Read more...

Question by Frankiesgirl Forever: What’s wrong with being on Suboxone Forever?
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone and it’s prescribed purpose is to treat opiate (from pain medication to heroin) addiction. It works by binding to the same receptors as other opioid drugs. It mimics the effects of other opiates by alleviating cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
What I want to know is why do I continuously come across people that think “you need to get off suboxone” ?
Everyone has heard the saying, “Once a Drug addict, always a drug addict”, so why would staying on an approved medication be a problem? Isn’t it better for someone to lead a product life style content on the medication, than struggling with the temptation of a controlling dangerous drug such as heroin? The medication is pretty much a guarantee to living a sober life. Unlike methadone, it is impossible to get high while taking Suboxone. So, if a though turns into an craving, and a craving turns into an action (of getting high), a person taking Suboxone knows they can go out and buy their drug of choice, but there will be no satisfaction in taking it, because the Suboxone eliminates the high. How is this bad?
I need to make something CLEAR, before others answer who have never had to struggle with addiction, if someone is a drug addict, even recovered, there is always a craving. Some months maybe good, experiencing a brief thought, other months are bad, experiencing more than a dozen; some contain stomach cramps and anxiety attacks. It is truly a day to day battle. So, the idea of not “having any craving at all”. (Douglas B) isn’t realistic.
I decided to end this question, because three out of the four comment where based on ignorance and from those who have likely “found Jesus” in dealing with their addiction, this does not work for all of us. If the only answer I am going to receive, is that Suboxone is bad for reasons no more than the withdrawals, when you “choose” to stop taking it, than I can conclude that there is nothing wrong with taking it long term. The only reason anyone would have severe withdrawal symptoms is because they did not taper off gradually the way your suppose to. And for the last comment and others who are contemplating Suboxone, I have been on it for 5yrs and have been a normal functioning person. Picked my life back up, graduated college, give back to the community, and am being to get a little bit of myself back. Couldn’t have done this with a hand full of Oxy scripts or a limitless supply of heroin, what am idiot..    Read more...
