Red face overwhelmed

Hi, my first post! I finished up working over 40 years and the last few years I took in my husband's cousin who has Alzheimer's for almost 2 years along with our son, Sam, who was on drugs (which I didn't know at the time). Sam is still living at home and (I hope) is still sober. He goes to therapy and gets random drug tests, so I'm told. He says that taking seboxone will block any other opiate drugs so he isn't taking anything (which is what he says when I confront him after he's been out very late). Does anyone know if that is true? What if someone takes too many seboxones?

I don't know about suboxone but we have a forum where your questions might be answered. Take a look and see if they have the answer.

Hi Coping - welcome

I know hard it is to trust that someone really love dearly really is in recovery.

Suboxone certainly is one treatment available to help some stay off opiates - does your son have a Dr?

suboxone blocking opiates?

Hi D, Yes he has a doctor. He also goes to a therapist. Thanks for your kind words!
