Hello there, I am so sorry this is happening to you. The bad news is, any doctor has the right to refuse to treat ANY patient, ANY time. I too found this out the hard way. I spoke to attorney, and they said there was not a single thing they did that was LEGALLY wrong. MORALLY, they couldn’t have been more wrong. Unfortunately, many doctors who are prescribing suboxone are in it for the money, and really couldnt care less who they cut off and leave withdrawling. My asshole doctor is a great example. Not all of them are like this, however from what I’ve read on this forum, they don’t seem hard to find.

Next thing, I would call the doctor that you originally called, who hooked you up with this one. The one that you said could give you a character reference if needed. Surely, he would have some advice for you, if not be able to get you in with another doc, even if it is primary care, that could prescribe for you.

Your recovery and sobriety are of top priority right now. They are to you too, and I can tell that by reading your post. Do whatever you have to do, to protect that at all costs. Think of the lengths we would go to, to obtain our drug of choice. It may be a distant memory for you, but I’m sure you would have driven a hundred miles for drugs if you are anything like me. I don’t know your history during your addiction, so I am not saying that you did that, just that I did.

I wish you the best of luck, and would like to hear how this whole mess turns out. I am pulling for you and for things to work out in your favor. Try to stay focused on you right now, and in the mean time, we are here for you if you need to talk, vent, or whatever! Take care.
