Well i started takeing pain pills about a year and a half ago and switch between the pills and heroin just to get through the day. I no longer get High i just do it to not get sick. Tomorrow i plan on starting a three day suboxone detox. Will this work? Im so scared to get sick and i have planned on doing this and stopping and getting cleaning tons of times before and i just couldnt ever do it. Please help with any ideas and information if i could get the will power to do this tomorrow will be the start of a new life for me a drug free life
 
Jenahnah:
I haven't had the experience with Suboxone detox so I really can't relate to how that will help, but I can offer encouragement and support. My only advice is to talk to people who have shared your experiences, whether it's online, at a meeting or a friend who has been through the process. I won't lie, the withdrawals will really mess you up, I still remeraber the pain and insomnia and just overall craziness and that's why it's important to have people who understand what you are going through. Hopefully the Sub will help minimize the effects, but keep telling yourself that WD's will not last forever, you will get through it and when you need, stop in here and let everyone know what you're feeling and we will all try and help you get through the next step and what you can expect. Good Luck, Stay Strong.
 
jenahnah Welcome to the group. You have taken the right step toward becoming clean by admitting to your problem and attempting to get off. In my opinion, you may be attempting this all wrong and should seek out medical help from a qualified doctor to get you on a suboxone treatment plan. 3 days of sub just isn't going to detox you off of heroin. You need to work out a plan using suboxone to stop your dependency on heroin, allow your body to recover and then taper down off of the suboxone. This is going to take a while, depending on your current dose amount of heroin. Only a qualified doctor and really help you plan that out and get you the doses you need. Consider seeking out a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in your area and there should be people there that can direct you better for either clinics or doctors in your area that can help you.

Keep us informed on how you are doing and Good Luck to you.
 
its not that easy if i go to a dr. an admit to my drug use social services can be contacted and i will risk losing my children
 
If you see a psychiatrist, I don't believe that they are allowed to contact the police or children's services. Dont' quote me on that. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU HAVE CHILDREN. That might be a better option.

Welcome!

It's sounRAB like you have a real problem on your hanRAB... It's amazing the trouble we have all gotten ourselves into isn't it? However, there is hope! You have taken the first step by admitting you have this problem and I hope you took that second step to actually quit. I understand your fear of losing your children. That just can't happen!

The NA meeting idea is a good one becuase I am sure there is someone there that can help direct you down the right path and like the previous poster said.. There are no police involved there!

These substances we have all abused are very dangerous! It's time to take control and believe in yourself. We as people can overcome anything we put our minRAB too... They are stronger than we think, we have just let the drugs take over our thinking... Now it's time to take the power back!

Please post us an update! I will be thinking and praying for you!

Hang in there!
