Sick and tired of the vicious cycle of Methadone clinics or the worse prospect of resorting to street Heroin I finally got myself into a suboxen Doctor office treatment milieu. This has revolutionized my entire being. I have been addicted off and on for 45+ years. Now I am easily able to deal with my addiction and do not experience any problems whatsoever other than a rather awful flavor in my mouth now only once per day at a minimal dose. Also an inexplicable sense of a healing and genuine well being. A new and not yet recognized Panacea.

I got on Subxone as part of my treatment to get off all kinds of pain killers. What a blessing it's been. I tried the whole "weaning" off the pills and failed miserably. This med has helped me realize getting clean can be a reality and when I think about my favorite pain pill, it doesn't seem so applealing when I'm on Suboxone.

I got on Subxone as part of my treatment to get off all kinds of pain killers. What a blessing it's been. I tried the whole "weaning" off the pills and failed miserably. This med has helped me realize getting clean can be a reality and when I think about my favorite pain pill, it doesn't seem so applealing when I'm on Suboxone. I do wish more docs were licensed to presribe it though. I'm so grateful I made the choice to get on it and was persistent in finding a doc. Along with the other tools such as counseling to get clean, I have real hope now. Good luck to anyone in the same situation. Just know it CAN be done!

Our addict had a long-term problem with prescription opiate painkillers of all kinds, and it was threatening to destroy our family. Suboxone therapy has allowed us to return to a "normal" existence. It has not been a simple treatment process, however. Few physicians are licensed to prescribe Suboxone, so it was challenging just to find a local doctor. Several counseling sessions per week were required, causing work scheduling conflicts that had to be resolved very carefully with cooperation of both the prescribing doctors and the counselors. As a caregiver, I had to learn about my role and change my attitude about it. When treatment started I was fed up, angry, bitter, and burdened. It has been helpful to think of the addiction as a chronic, treatable condition like diabetes, rather than as something to be cured and forgotten about. The caregiver is part of the addict's team, and a positive, kind, supportive, team-player mentality helps greatly (sometimes hard to muster, but worth it!). Suboxone is another member of the team, and it continues to treat this condition and keep it under control. It has been, without a doubt, the best available solution to us. I believe it can help many others as well. Good luck.
