we are the parents of 27 yr old who continues to struggle against addiction despite rehabs, prison, degradation, the list could go on and on. methadone hasnt been effective because she supplements it with whatever else she can get her hanRAB on. should i assume shes doomed because she just cant get straight? i recently heard an ad for a suboxone treatment. is this any different from methadone?
 
I think that she won't be able to get off the drugs until she is ready and has hit her rock bottom. It's great that she has 2 parents who are behind her and supporting her, she neeRAB to be the one to hit bottom. Until then, the cycle will continue.
 
I was glancing through the message boarRAB when I saw your question regarding Suboxone. I am taking Suboxone, after being taken off of oxycontin for pain, which I had been taking for a few years. When making the switch from Oxycontin to Suboxone, I didn't have to go through the horrible withdrawal, as Suboxone makes the transition very easy. They use this drug for people of addictions, plus it also works for me with my chronic pain. It is a drug that hasn't been out a very long time, and a lot of people haven't even heard of it. What Suboxone does is block other opioRAB from entering the system. So if a person tried taking another drug, Suboxone would stop it. In the sense of addiction, taking Suboxone you will not crave the drug you were taking before. In my case, after I was switched to Suboxone, after the Oxycontin, I didn't have any of the feelings that I "needed" to take it, Oxycontin. From what I was told by my doctor, is that Suboxone has a very good success rate. I hope that I was able to help you, in sharing my story.
 
Suboxone has been a blessing for me, I noticed that Magpie 1970 doesn't have a program suboxone and a 12 step program is what is required for success for me.

Does your daughter want to quit is she ready? They also have an inplant they can put in your ear or thigh I'm not sure I read it somewhere but, it block opiots and heroin. You should look into it as an option. But you will see alot of posts here where suboxone has helped alot of people. Don't give up hope, I don't know if what your religious beliefs are but prayer has helped me alot. But that was just me. Good luck I hope things work for you just keep the faith.

Take Care,
Lori
