Suboxone Detox From Heroin?
Question by Seriously…: Suboxone Detox from Heroin?
My hubby has been on Heroin for 2 months (someone told him he was buying something else). either way- now he’s been on it and he thinks that he can just go to a dr and ask them for a suboxone rx. do drs do that? i’m afraid that he isn’t going to get what he’s looking for and turn for the worst. any advice? he is refusing a detox place- and just wants the suboxone…please if you are out there….please.
We were in a bad accident 2 years ago and he had to have 2 back surgeries. He was on oxycotin for a long time but dr/s didn’t want to treat him anymore. he’s got an extremely high tolerance for pain meds- he is in pain- he does need something- but now we are trying to find help for this new thing. Why he didn’t realize what he was taking is beyond me-= he’s a smart guy. (usually). do we just walk in a say to the dr that he’s had this for 2 months now? will the dr call the cops on him? i’m completely out of my element here. i dont even smoke cigaretts myself- i take tramadol for pain due to endometriosis- so i understand needin something to get through the day. i feel sorry for my husband. and i’m scared for him. and for my family. i hope he can get through this and i pray that we make it through as a family in one piece!!

Normally you have to go to rehab. If he has only been doing it for 2 months he cant be that strung out on it. rehab would be fairly quick. But he needs to deal with why he is self medicating

if you go to a drug counselor or a family health center of some sort they usually can tell you where to find a doctor who prescribes suboxone, some will see you for free but usually they charge for the consultation and then he will check on how bad your husband’s use is, talk it through, maybe a drug test to make sure he is actually using, and voila, suboxone prescription.
He is going to have to wait out the induction period, which means that before getting taking his first dose he will have to not take anything for usually 24 hours, or he will go through precipitated withdrawal, which is supposed to suck really bad.
