Detoxing From Roxicodone At Home

I have taken/abused roxicodone for four years. I am trying my best to detox and get on with my life drug free. I will be detoxing at home with my parents. I am a 26 year old male. We have on hand for the sickness I know I am about to face .... an anti diarrheal, a stool softner, multi vitamins for when I can't eat and advil for pain. I went to my Doctor today and he prescribed Suboxone (1 tab twice a day .. an extra if needed the first week). Also, a nurse at a rehab facility said to drink lots of water AND Gatorade to keep my electrolites in balance. I am not looking forward to this. I had my last roxis yesterday and was honest with the Doctor today. I will have someone nearby while I am sick to help with any needs. Is there anything you can offer as advice? Am I missing something I need? After a month the Doctor will begin to wean me down from the Suboxone. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated. I expect since I took roxi's yesterday I will start to feel sick tomorrow or maybe as soon as tonight.Have any of you detoxed from Roxicodones and been successful? To be honest I don't know if I can do it, but for my family and friends and I am going to give it my all.

Hello, Steve! How are you doing? Kudos for realizing that this is something you need to change and taking the initiative to do so.

How much of the Roxicodone were you usually taking? My concern is over your taking the Suboxone, because it's only meant to be used to treat hardcore addicts and isn't appropriate for everyone.

Additionally, only taking it for a month and then tapering may be way too fast, it usually takes about 2 years for most people.
