johnathanm1978, I sent you a p.m. I was in active addiction for 25 years, I have been on sub. for 2 1/2, and I have no plans discontinuing it anytime soon. Ironic, for someone that agrees with harm reduction, I find it odd that you have a problem with someone taking sub. indefinitely. Where is the study showing taking sub. long term is detrimental to one’s health? Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic medication, it is derived from thebaine, which is a natural alkaloid from the poppy. Addiction is not about a drug, or medication, it is about the disease, and the maladaptive behaviors that result from it. Steve
