I guess doctors have their ways of doing things, but i also feel like this is what happens when you see a doctor that knows very little about addiction at all. They try to overcompensate to cover their ass. They make SURE the patients they do have aren’t using ANYTHING else and are taking around the right amount of sub. It makes perfect sense if you really think about it. Does it suck and keep addicts from getting help? Yes.

My long time doctor works out of an addiction/behavioral medicine center. This is fabulous for suboxone treatment. He is very knowledgeable about addiction and somewhat about suboxone. He makes sure that patients not only take suboxone, but go to meetings and really do something to change their behaviors and ideas. It’s really good… If you take advantage of it, listen, and do what is asked of you…. Also be honest. Those that choose to use and lie. Get booted. Those that choose to lie about their recovery, not go to any meetings, try to change anything, sell suboxone, basically just take suboxone and leave… Seem to always struggle and live in a constant circular cycle.

So.

It’s up to the doctor. But. Their are lots of other doctors. My old doctor that I was referring to first… Charged out the ass and made you take like 3 different tests every time you tested. Sucked. But I see why he did it. Scared away a lot of shady low life’s from using him to get suboxone to put on the streets or give him the run around somehow.

Good luck to you.
