don't have long but wanted to say welcome! And correct something....you can absolutely get on suboxone with a week clean time under your belt...in fact it may work even better. The reason an active opiate addict needs to be in w/d for suboxone induction is b/c if you have opiates in your system - the sub will 'knock' those opiates off the receptors to get in there - causing what is referred to as 'precipitated withdrawal'...sub is a strong med! If you have no opiates in your system (working on your receptors that is) all the better for the subs to 'plug 'em up' (the receptors, so to speak) -blocking other opiates from being worth a damn and curbing your cravings which is one of the main goals w/suboxone and seems to be what you're lookin' for right now! No quick fix - but it will give you some time to kick those behaviors and in turn the cravings. Please PM me if you need clarification and good luck!! keep posting!!
