[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408704, member: 1233"] It surprises me that she would want methadone rather than suboxone. My exSIL is a nurse with addictions and the program run by the licensing board will NOT approve of methadone treatment - only suboxone. They say she would still be getting high from methadone but not from suboxone. She also has several severely painful chronic problems, including a seriously messed up back and nervous system froma ansty car accident that was NOT her fault and she was NOT under the influence of anything - it was my mom's car so we got the police report including that she demanded they breathalyze her and take blood at the scene of the accident so there would be no question of her being under the influence and the hosptial not finding it because they didn't test her right away. So she has to navigate unholy pain levels and addictions at the same time. Hers is NOT dependence, or not only, she also has addiction to almost anything you can get addicted to so she has a lot of problems. Anyway, I am rather surprised that the lady would want to push methadone above suboxone. I may have my info wrong though. It may have been a test to see how willing he was to do whatever was needed. WHile the comment about $40 being less than he woudl spend on drugs seems callous but it IS true. Very true. Just not terribly helpful. I am glad they are taking him!!! He seems to be trying really hard. [/QUOTE]
