Thanks guys,
Unfortunately Pamel, It's his doctor, not mine. My understanding of it now is like you are saying, a bridge to sobriety; part of a toolkit, along with all the other tools available. I also have my issues with how well he appears to be working the program, Interrupted. Gut says, he's going along with the motions, but its not absorbing. I think that with the suboxone, the resole to 12 step will diminish even more. But who knows? Time to stop guessing and live MY life!
