I spoke with my husbands doctor, he called the pharmacy and cancelled the prescription and had my husband flagged with all the pharmacies so no more narcotic meds. He left the soctor and signes up for a detox program. He has to wait until tomorrow, he has a little meds left to last him the night but not what hes used to.
He said he would get clean on his own. I told him not in my house. He would have to do an out patient detox to be able to stay home. He agreed. We have an appt tomorrow morning.
What should I expect tonight. Will it be bad? He has about a quarter of the amount of meds he is used to taking.
Im so scared of tonight. I am so proud of him. He admitted his problem, he actually said some truths.
I am not getting sucked in though. I have to fill his methedone or suboxone ( I think thats what the doctore called the meds) prescription and give him the meds. He is not allowed to have money on hand aside from a little spending money and if anything goes missing from my home hes done. I have laid down the rules in exchange for my support. Did I handle this right?
I would love to know if I handled this the way it should be handled. He is a proud mab and I think hearing the doctor and I talk about him that way made him realize he was an addict. Like if i was talking about anyone else he would have thought "junkie"
I think it embarassed and humbled him to admit his problem.
Thanks for your input
