Answer by Greg
I was addicted to pills too. I got on a methadone maintenance program (MMP) at the suggestion of my counselor. He told me to get on a MMP so that I would be able to get as much medicine as I needed without any problem. I got on MMP before pain management clinics became popular. I would tell anyone that has an addiction problem or anyone that cannot find a doctor to give them enough pain medicine to relieve their pain to go to a MMP. The clinic rules where I live were very strict and not designed for convenience. In the beginning it was necessary to go to the clinic every single day of the year except for a couple of major holidays when we got take home doses. I can only say that the MMP made such a wonderful improvement in my life that going there every single day was an inconvenience that I was willing to live with.    Read more...

Question by gatorman74: How long does Suboxone stay in your system?

Best answer:

Answer by Brussell
I personally take it, so here ya go:

Technically, the period of effectiveness is put somewhere at 24-32 hours, meaning that it can ease withdrawal symptoms and block the effect of other opiates/opioids for about that long. However, practically, I start to feel like I need to take another around 18-24 hours later. My back begins to hurt, etc. But I have been taking it for quite some time, so perhaps that is just because I have taken it for some time. From what I remember when I first began taking it, it lasted quite a while. But it doesn’t really matter, because if you take your medicine every day as the doctor tells you to, then you will not experience any withdrawal and the safeguards will remain in effect.    Read more...
