Opiate Dependence
"There&#039;s no doubt that Suboxone is a miracle. It&#039;s not as effective as methadone when one is addicted to high doses of strong drugs (e.g. heroin, not Vicodin), but it&#039;s a lot safer and can be prescribed in a doctor&#039;s office, without the trouble of going to a methadone clinic at 6:00 AM every day and having to do four hours of therapy a week, precluding any possibility of working any proper job, and sadly is stigmatized.

I&#039;d be destitute, homeless, and probably in jail or dead today if not for Suboxone: I had a habit of 1-2 bundles/day. Failed &quot;traditional treatment&quot; (residential/steps) three times prior. Now I&#039;ve been clean/sober from everything except tobacco for 2yrs/11months."
