How Effetcive Is Suboxone Treatment For Opiate Addiction?
My nephew has been addicted to oxycodone for almost five years. He claims he takes between 120 and 150mgs every 4 or 5 hours. He also crushes Oxycontin and snorts it when he can get it. He was on methadone for a year and did not tell anyone that he was high as a kite on methadone. Once his dosage was reduced, he realpsed and started with the oxycodone again. This has cost him a small fortune, not to mention what it has done to his mental and physical well being. He is now going to try Suboxone treatment. I have read the information on Suboxone. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had experience with suboxone treatment, good or bad. Addiction is a nasty disease, and I am well aware that it is a family probem. He tells me he became addicted to Percocet after having dental work done, and in no time he was taking largee amounts of oxycodone. He is now desperate. He has lost his job and cannot afford rapid detox. Any input would be appreciated.
