Amber,
Thanks for posting those links. Even if the OP isn’t reading anymore I’m sure it will help someone else!
Just for the record…
OP said "unless this so called wonder drug rewires my brain and makes me not want to mess with opiates again, then it is not worth it to me."
Sorry MP, there is no such thing. There is no easy fix for addiction…period. Any way you deal with it, it’s going to be tough. YOU have to put in the work to gain sobriety.
If you have been an addict for 20 years and somehow think "this time will be different", I’m afraid you will be right back where you started before long. Even though I am currently dependent on suboxone, I would do it again in a heartbeat before I would go back to active addiction. Everyone knows the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Suboxone is what you make of it. Long term maintenance or shorter term treatment with the goal of abstinence…if you put in the work it can CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
