I'm glad to hear he got in the program. I feel suboxone has saved my difficult child's life at this point. He is living a normal life for now, though I know someday he will have to come off of it. When they do come off of it though it is done with the help of a doctor, so it's not like they just have to quit cold turkey.
I do go back and forth with my feelings because I wonder what will happen when he does come off of it. will he have learned enough life skills to stay clean, or will the cravings be just as bad, but I guess I can't worry about that for now. Right now he's clean and healthy and happy and learning to live again.
I hope your difficult child has as much success as mine has. I hope he takes it seriously too, the chance he has been given. I know my difficult child stopped taking it for awhile and would use in between and ended up back in rehab., but he seems to have learned from this and realizes how lucky he is to be on it.
