Hey Everyone,
My sister is a heroin addict and has been using drugs for 4 years now. She will be 19 years old in October. She has done a IOP but relapsed after being in the program for only 2 weeks. When she relapsed she did hard core.

My question is she is now in recovery again. She is taking Suboxone (which she did the first time as well). We are all aware of the ups and downs to taking this drug. However, she is at her 2 week mark again and is really struggling again. I am wondering, is their something that happens in the brain etc.. at the 2 week mark that kicks in the struggling to recovery even harder?

Thanks for any input!!!!

Namaste,
Kacie
