[QUOTE="SONS GONE WILD, post: 212461, member: 4725"] Dear Stands, I know you posted a while ago, but I haven't been on line lately. Here's some info in case you still need it. My 18 y/o son has been on Suboxone since March. It really does work - for months he was doing better - then, somehow, he decided not to take it a couple of days and went back to doing Heroin. I was holding the medications and giving them to him daily, but evidently he wasn't taking them all the time. Unfortunately, I think they have a pretty high street value. Now, I watch him take them. He also would not stop using Marijuana. He was in an intensive outpatient program which is where he got the suboxone. They also put him on antidepressants. He did not complete the IOP program (wouldn't go to group meetings), so I found a psychiatrist who accepted our insurance and prescribed suboxone. That is where I found out (after they drug tested him) that he wasn't taking it all the time (he was probably selling it to get the heroin). At least while taking the suboxone he was probably away from drug dealers. Anyway, I really thought it was a miracle drug, and definitely think it helps, but now realize it is still an addictive substance. Eventually they ween you off of it. Now he has finally agreed (maybe half-heartedly) to go to inpatient rehab. We have given him the ultimatum of that or out of the house. I am looking into Narconon, which is a totally chemical free facility. They ween you off of all medications, including the suboxone. You might want to go to Suboxone.com and there is a link to forums - you can get lots of information from people who take it and loved ones of people who take it. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
