Which is better for detoxing from heroin, methadone or suboxone, while 6 months pregnant?
mw106 asked: Does anyone know which is safer, suboxone or methadone for detoxing from heroin, while 6 months pregnant? I am addicted to heroin, have been for a couple of years. I found out 2 months ago that I was 4months pregnant. I have tried to stop on my own, but cannot go through the withdraws from the heroin. So I have kept using. I have cut back a considerable amount. I’m only using enough to keep me from getting sick. I know someone that takes Suboxone, and can take them. I’m scared to tell the dr. that I have been using. I’m scared that she will call Child Protective services or something. I’m not really scared about them taking the child that I am pregnant with, b/c I think that I’m giving it up for adoption, but I’m scared they will try to take my 2 year old away. She was planned, and is loved very much and taken very good care of. I was thinking about trying to get into a methadone clinic, but I’m not sure how that works being pregnant, if anyone can answer any of my questio
