Lets take a little closer look at how one can stop using heroin or overcome painkiller withdrawal in the privacy of their home by using suboxone taper method.
How to taper off of heroin or painkillers with suboxone
The first thing one needs to even begin anything like this is to surrender or in other words admit that you can no longer use heroin or painkillers successfully that every time you use them the drugs win out and you are beaten down time after time. If you can do this then recovery is possible and the next step is contacting a Suboxone Doctor to help you to detox from heroin or painkillers.
How to contact a Suboxone Dr.?
One should be prepared to travel a little ways in order to get an appointment with this type of doctor because they have to have a special license to prescribe this medication. When I used it I had to drive like forty five miles for my appointment but you may find one a couple miles away it depends on where you like. The good new is your suboxone prescription may be covered by insurance. My Medicaid paid for it.
Once you have found one give them a call and schedule an appointment and tell the receptionist that you would like to get in as soon as you can. Do not put this off your life depends on you getting some heroin addiction help.
When you meet with the doctor tell them of the desire you have to stop using drugs and they will ask you questions like how much and how often that you use drugs so be honest because they will use this information to determine how much suboxone you will need each day and how many milligrams each dose should be.
If you have the desire to be completely detoxed from painkillers or would like to withdraw from heroin in a couple weeks then let the doctor know or maybe you will be like me and need to be on suboxone maintenance. What ever your choice is you have made a good move by seeking suboxone treatment a lot of people swear that it’s a miracle cure for all opiates.
One final suggestion here is that you should already be attending 12 step meetings or going to substance abuse counseling and if you are not you need to make plans to start because there is no way you can stay clean and sober alone.
Good luck
