Opiate Dependence
"I have been a heavy opiate user for 15 years.  I did have years staying &quot;clean&quot; using soboxone but once I got divorced I became depressed and relapsed.  My addiction took off and I ended up using IV heroin and at that point trying to go back and use soboxone to stay clean was impossible. It took a overdose and 30 day treatment to make the decision to get the injection and it saved my life, best drug in the world.  I know people have fears of breaking a bone or being in severe pain while being on a long lasting opiate blocker but as a paramedic there is 1 opiate narcotic that will not be blocked by vivitrol...I won&#039;t tell you which but all docs and paramedics know...so have no fear, DO IT! I have never been happier"
