Bupenorpine. Made it free. It will help a lot of addicts.
(Doctors shouldn't have to take a special course in order to prescribe it.)
I'm getting tired of this opoid problem. I'm tired of addicts overdosing. As to rehab--if you don't relapse--fine.
We have a drug for opioid dependenancy, and maybe even the
a tool to combat depression, and anxiety that's very safe. Unless you are hell bent on overdosing, you don't need Suboxone, you could get by with Subutex--that is if you can find a doctor to prescribe it? Once you have just bupenorpine in your system; the physical cravings for opioids go away. Plus--you might give up a few other bad habits too--like drinking?
- wil421 11y agoSubutex and suboxone are not the answer just like methadone is not the answer. I know people who I went to high school with take those for years and years. Instead if doing pain killers they are now addicted to the pill that was supposed to get rid of addiction. Physical cravings aside its a mental game to get rid of an addiction. Every time one of those friends stopped taking subutex/suboxone they would relapse. Some people took them for 4-5 years and were on such a high dose they had withdraws.
- carbocation 11y agoThe goal of suboxone therapy is not to free someone from physical dependence. It is to save lives and restore livelihoods by replacing a dangerous and debilitating drug whose use is associated with a whole set of unhealthy behaviors with another drug that permits nearly normal functioning in society.
