MM,

I think this is a good question that people on sub/methadone should think about.

I guess the answer depends on what recovery means. For me, recovery means moving forward away from drug using behaviors and not taking substances that impair me. So I think people who are only taking sub but not doing treatment can be in recovery to a degree. I know after 1 year on sub I stopped all treatment stuff. I ended up relapsing a year later even though i was on sub. Now I have been doing treatment and sub and things are way better.

So for me, I need both. Some may not.
