heroin
A friend of mine recently stopped using heroin and started on a suboxone program. After one month he is weaning himself off the suboxone to taking it twice a week. He says he feels great, life is great, everything in his world is just great....He has no desire to use H again and life has never been better. He does not go to meetings or any kind of program. He has a 20 year history of drug use of which the last 2 were heroin...
Is it really this easy to get off of heroin or is he just an exception to the rule or is he just "full of s____"?

In Response to: heroin He isnt off of it yet. I have heard that most folks stay on Suboxone for a year. Then are tapered off over an extended time. More power to him if he can do it alone. Most folks cant, because they have not learned what to do when the cravings start. He isnt craving, because he is still on a drug, suboxone. Suboxone treatment, when done properly inconjuntion with ongoing therapy, etc, has saved a lot of lives. Posted: 10/25/2015 3:07 PM

In Response to: heroin Without a program of ongoing support, it is going to be very difficult. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. Posted: 11/01/2015 1:11 PM
