Opiate Dependence
"This medication is a life saver.  After years of taking Oxycodone and Oxycontin, I found myself at a Methadone clinic.  Methadone kept me in hibernation state of mind.  I would sleep all my days away and felt trapped by the daily visits to the clinic.  Buprenorphine changed my life. I was able to lead a fully functional life again.  I no longer slept my life away and was able to hold a job and become a productive member of society again.  Some people will try to discredit buprenorphine but that&#039;s because they still want to be high on opiates. If someone you love is addicted they have 3 options...jail...death or buprenorphine. I&#039;m living proof it works. I&#039;m four years clean thanks solely to buprenorphine."
