Well, I haven't been here for a while but I can tell you Prizewinner from my experience 1 year ago when my husband went to a facility for a 30-day program...he called me every day and on the 7th day called me at 1:30 am asking me if he could come home. I was silent and said "you can leave the program if you want, but you can't come to this house." I remained awake all night and he told me the next morning after he hung up the phone he fell asleep. He was on Suboxone too and it's just as bad as the opiates. The withdrawal is awful and even after 30 days they still may feel crappy. I hate to sound cold-hearted....but....that's on them. Be supportive and encouraging, but you have "Your side of the street to walk on" and he has "his side of the street to walk on". That's the best advice I received from a friend. Why is it so stinkin' easy to give advice but almost impossible to follow it!!! :o) sigh....... Good luck
