Suboxone Lengthy Therapy (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Why are people staying on this drug for so long? I kicked a major heroin addiction with 5 days worth of pills I scored on the street. I felt anxious and weak a couple days after the pills but then was fine.

Perhaps becuz what works for one addict who proclaims to have had a major heroin addiction does not work for another. And although you may have kicked and feel fine, there are MANY others who can kick and still crave the drug. Its hard to imagine that someone who had a major heroin addiction is not having thoughts on using again.

But hey, that do I know? I'm just a pill head!

Godspeed.......

Some people in drug addictions have trouble finding something eles in there lives that makes them feel happy, or reason to live even. Some can get right of herione and become back into a normal life style again with out much trouble besides the week you descirbed. Others forgot or never knew of a way to live life with happyness iin it. Thats what stops many people form getting off many drugs in my oppinion. I belive if you can show them a diffrent way of living life, hiking, swimming, execersize in general is a great way to do so. Im talking from personal experiance with my own opiate addictions for over 2 years. I beat it with soboxin for the sicks as its said and working out. Now im addicted to working out and walking but hey, its cheap and good for ya. Hope you do well in your trails and journys!

The time the drug therapy is required can depend upon the length and intensity of the person's addiction.
