With Suboxone, it’s still a relatively new drug in the U.S. (most people don’t even know what it is), and it’s being prescribed for something a lot of people think is unnecessary. No one will argue against using oxycodone to treat pain. But there are people who think addicts should just go to rehab, NA or whatever and not use a replacement drug at all. That is what worries me — making those people understand, especially if they hold positions of power. |
I understand your point and I guess anything is really possible. Methadone is nothing new though and abusing methadone is nothing new. The way I see it, the powerful people you speak of are the pharma companies and anything relatively safe making them money, is probably here to stay.. But I think all points on this are valid.
