Common Questions and Answers about Suboxone program

suboxone

Avatar f tn Now I know that some of these suboxone clinics are just money mills but there are also some wonderful addiction specialists prescribing suboxone ( you need to look for a suboxone doctor rather than a suboxone clinic). My doctor is an angel. I see her every 60 days and get a regular prescription with a refill - no crazy counselors. Suboxone is a partial agonist so for most people there is very little "high" and it's possible to take it and feel cleaner than taking methadone.
Avatar f tn t get in the program if she is not actively using. Suboxone is not used to keep a clean person clean. I have been an addict for 14 years and a year ago I started Suboxone because I was not strong enough to get off My drug of choice on my own. I was on them for 8 months and have been off them for 130 days.
Avatar m tn Apparently it's fairly common - there are some other posts on it. Definitely speak with the Dr., but don't be surprised if he/she doesn't have an answer. A lot of the issues with Suboxone apparently didn't come out until post-FDA-approval. Suboxone has excellent support in my experience if you call their 1-800 number. The throwing up for me only occurred when just starting it or when on too high of a dose. Opiates in general make some people sick, so it's not unusual.

1626629 tn?1329422329 m in day 2 of suboxone program. I know that everyone here is so much more accepting of a CT but I have my reasons. My husband lost his job last year therefore I am the only one bringing in income. For me to take off work is impossible...yes I'm one of those who takes care of my self last probably why it was so easy for me to get myself into this mess to begin witH. I chose this program in hopes that it will push me in the right direction.
Avatar m tn I am starting the Suboxone treatment program tomorrow and would like to know what to expect? I have to be there at 7:25am and stay there for a while. I also have to go to mandatory classes if I want to stay on the Suboxone.
Avatar f tn Were or are you in a recovery program? Suboxone doesn't just cure you. It's ment to be a short term drug to help you get off other drugs well you work a recovery program.....or you'll just constantly relapse. Anyway no he shouldn't turn you away. You said you quit the suboxone so you weren't taking narcotics well on the subs. But you never know? Docs can surprise you.

1355259 tn?1324219984 Personally, I was put on a waiting list for 9 months before I was accepted into the program and now I have been on the program for almost 3 years. It literally saved my life. First I would make sure that your doctor is legally allowed to prescribe subuxone. Not all doctors can do it. They have to go through a year course in order to be able to handle it. Second, many, many doctor require that you have to have been to rehab. They want to make sure that you have tried on your own to quit.
Avatar m tn Contact reckitt benckiser who manufactures suboxone/subutex. Ask about the suboxone assistance program. They'll tell you if your son is eligible for it (he should be) but like flmagi said - there is a 2 patient limit for sub docs so make sure you look around.
Avatar f tn Although suboxone has proved effective for many people, please keep in mind the strength of suboxone and the fact that it is an opioid, therefore more difficult to detox from than lortabs. I made the mistake of making the transition from opiates to an opioid maintenance program...in retrospect, it would have been far easier for me to detox from the opiates.
Avatar f tn The reason why they suggest that you stay on the program for at least six months is to avoid relapse. As I said, Suboxone is a program and the idea behind it is to stay off of opiates and spend some time getting your life back in order..physically, mentally, spiritually and financially. The counseling and the meetings can help you do that. the you can wean off of the Suboxone and with the knowledge and the time that you have gained you will have a much better shot at STAYING clean.
Avatar n tn just be honest and tell the chc that u are addicted to drugs and want to get on a suboxone program. then after you get your referral call the montana center after about 3 days and then every day after that until you get an appointment. if you smoke cigarrettes DO NOT tell them that you do or they will make you quit or take your suboxone away. it costs $200.00 for the first visit and $48.00 every visit after that. the bad thing is that every time they **** test you it costs $390.
Avatar n tn Hey, I have been on Suboxone for 9 months and now im thinking about getting off them. I was on methodone before and the withdraws were horrible. Does anyone know if subuxone withdraws are as bad? Im scared to go thru that agian!
Avatar f tn both are equally not healthy but working in a substance abuse field and running a program, people tend to find it easier to come off of suboxone. I would strongly suggest that whatever you choose, you get yourself into a rehab program and find other ways to stop using besides taking a med that is exactly like using.
Avatar f tn I would suggest going to a Sub doctor and get put on a program. Suboxone is to be used with the intentions to eventually become clean completely. Suboxone is just as bad as Heroin to get off of if abused. I know from experience.
Avatar n tn is anyone else tappering off suboxone and can someone give me some support and tips on how they did it because i want to stop and it is a lot harder then i thought it was going to be so if any one is out there that can help please feel free do so
Avatar f tn Just about the only way for sub to be a successful alternative to getting off of other opiates is to work a recovery program. Suboxone isn't some magic pill to get you off of opiates. It's a whole program.
