[QUOTE="KFld, post: 213189, member: 2442"] The purpose of suboxone is to help someone break the addiction of opiates. If a doctor prescribes it to your son, he will have to go see the doctor once a month and he will be drug tested for all other drugs. If he is still useing anything, they will kick him out of the program. Usually an individual is on suboxone for a good year or so, so that the individual can pull their life together and learn to live a normal healthy life, then by the time they come off the suboxone they have changed their life enough to hopefully not return to the opiates. My son is in the process of coming off the suboxone after 2 years. It saved his life, but it is also not easy to come off of. You go through the same withdrawal symptoms as the opiate, but he knows it is time and he feels he has done what he needs to with his life to remain drug free afterwards. I supported my son. Brought him to and from the doctors when he didn't have a car and even paid for his office visits for awhile until he had a good job and was able to pay himself. I did this when I saw he was ready and willing to follow the program and stay away from all substances. He does not drink or do any drugs. They are no longer a part of his life. I would encourage you to help your son if and when you feel he is willing to stop all other substance abuse, but not before. You will be wasteing your time and money if he doesn't follow the program and take it seriously. Good luck! I hope he is ready to take it seriously. [/QUOTE]
