I believe there is a very good combination out there for those of you who want to stop using dilaudid. It has been around for a short time now and I am not sure everyone understands the options they have if they choose to quit diaudid with suboxone. Now there are a couple of ways you can actually use the dilaudid and suboxone technique.
The first one I will tell you about today is to go to rehab there you can be detoxed by trained individuals with suboxone. One will pretty much rest and sleep during their dilaudid withdrawal. This is pretty much all that will be required of you until you finish and move on to residential treatment that’s right! It is necessary to go to residential if you want to stay clean once you leave rehab. Here is a little preview of what you will do in residential treatment. You will attend lectures about addiction, watch recovery related videos, attend 12 step meetings, and have individual addiction therapy. This is a very good start for anyone who is new to this kind of treatment or for people who did not succeed last time around.
Next I will explain how you can quit using dilaudid with suboxone at home. This is pretty easy to get set up for, all you have to do is find a Dr. who is licensed to prescribe suboxone. Once this is done you simply make an appointment and let them know of your plans to stop using drugs. When you actually talk with the Dr. you can pretty much ask if they have some suggestions on how you can stop using and how long it will take, I mean hypothetically one could quit using in as little as 5 days but I would recommend at least 2 week taper. There is another option and this is suboxone maintenance and this is what I was on and I found it a great way to beat dilaudid addiction.
Suboxone works well for addiction to percocet, oxyycontin, and heroin. If you decided you need help to overcome an addiction to any of these drugs I would suggest going to an opiate rehab of some sort because you can be medically detoxed in 3 to 5 days.
Regardless of what method you choose the important thing is that you stop using as soon as you can. We do not need any more statistics.
If you go to rehab it is extremely important to set up an opiate
addiction recovery aftercare program with your counselor. It has been my
experience that those who fail to do this will soon return to active addiction
being this is what happened to me and many other folks I have come across in my
recovery.
A good recovery program should consist of ongoing daily meeting
attendance and it certainly would not hurt to continue substance addiction
therapy. One thing I have learned is that you can never do to much for your
addiction recovery.
Good luck and God bless
