Detox followed by minimum 60 days in patient treatment then outpatient treatment for a significant amount of time.

Very very rare for a heroin addict to kick it just by taking methadone or even suboxone.

Most methadone clinics are just places for addicts to meetup and exchange drugs and sell methdone off to dealers.

At least the 8 mg suboxone strips, in theory, can be used to wean off by cutting it down to 6 mg then 4 mg then 2 mg....

Don’t you have an opinion? You posted it. It must have some meaning, interest or validity or non-validity to you. Is this a paid commercial?

I don’t envy anyone the challenge of recovery from addiction but they could start with NA.

While I was in college, I had a very good friend who was absolutely brilliant in his field of study and a great guy. I watched him in less than a year go from a casual drug user to full blown junkie. Meth, coke, herion and acid.

His family tried to convince him to go into treatment, I tried to convince him to go to treatment, and he refused, he cut all of us out of his life.

At the time, I had an extra room in my house and we secured the room by boarding up the windows, emptying the room and securing the door.

Another friend had a van and we went looking for him one night and found him walking on a street where drugs could be scored.

We grabbed him off the street, tossed him in the van, handcuffed him and tied up his feet.

We took him back to house, placed him in the empty room and let him detox.

He screamed for days, ripped the Sheetrock off the walls.

To feed him we would open the door, shine a spotlight in his face and enter the room. We gave him a bucket to go to the bathroom. He did not always use the bucket.

It took three weeks for him to even talk to use, a week later he agreed to treatment.

Today he is clean, has a family and is an architect with his work in AD.

It worked. We saved his life.

If you want to clean and sober there are good twelve step meetings with clean and sober people ought there.

Junk use and allies want an easier softer way....there ain’t one. You have to quit and you have to change....

I would suspect the only opiate addition treatment that stops addiction is a fatal overdose.

The best treatment is to slide into the underclass, and stay away from people who are not involved with your addiction — you’ll just drag them down too.

All that is is an entire industry of people making a living off of not curing a problem that only the addict and God can cure.

All that one needs to cure one’s addiction is the will to conquer the demon, the desire to be free and the Strength of God to overcome.

Yes, there will be suffering.

But as an addict, I am the one who made my prison, walked into it and locked the door behind me. I am the only one who can unlock the door, walk out and never return.

My addiction/ addictions/ addictive behavior is between me and myself and God, and no one else.

I am sober. My demon is in my prison where I put it. I locked the bastard in there. I hold the key right here. It’s up to me to never let it out. I’m the only one who can do this job.

That is all.
