First of all, Im excited to see that there is this website for me to turn to…..people just like me. I just signed up and really could use some feedback.
I just moved from Alaska to Washington with my family. I have two kids, 8yrs and 7 months, both girls, thriving, doing great since their mommy has been clean thanks to suboxone. My issue is this; medicaid has been my insurance and has paid for my prescription for the past 2 years. Since moving to Wa, I called about 15 doctors before I learned that this state only covers my script if I am in in-patient treatment and only allows one to be on subs for 6 months, ect…..
so, here I am, with one weeks worth left, tapering myself off, trying to get my mind set right and pretty terrified off withdrawling…
Thank goodness for my supportive husband, without him I would be worse off. And so would my kids. Aside my feelings about the whole beauracracy about everything, I have to just focus on getting through this. I was only planning on being on suboxone for one more year for other reasons. Insurance so to speak…..whatever, deep down the choice is mine to manage my recovery on my own. Im still scared.
So, I found a general practitioner and suggested what I researched would help me, clonidine, klonipin, ect….this doctor knows nothing about suboxone or addiction, so im feeling sort of thrown to the wolves here. If there is any helpful feedback out there on anything I can do to detox as smoothly as possible, it would be appreciated.
I havent even finished reading what others have posted, but plan to.
Off to make some chow for my kids………………….thanks
