Dave,
Attitudes all over the country aren't very progressive! Doctors prescribe the drug.( I still remember my first 60 count lortab script with three refills) then they look at you like you have three heads when you say you have a problem.Addiction is big money,addicts on methodone and suboxone are steady customers. I think suboxone is a great tool, but a dangerous opiate in its own right, and I found it harder to come off than the hydro's. I went into a tough ass detox center for 3 days and cold turkied the opiates. They gave us enough clonodine and valium to keep us from jumping out the window and thats about it.That was the boost I needed cause if I was home I would have used. Its great that you are not using the opiates, but what is their game plan to get you off the suboxone ?
