Hi Elizabeth:
I live in a small town filled with folks with too much time on their hands and lots of addicted people. First, I have done much research on the subject of Buprenex. It is illegal to use Buprenex for detox at this time. It has not been approved by the FDA. If the state is considering it's use for detox they must have an Investigational New Drug Certificate to detox anyone. These people know they are operating illeaglly. Consider this: You need to detox..You call the clinic and they explain the detox program to you, but INSIST that you have some type proof of pain or depression...You can not be admitted into the program without it..You begin the program, they never make mention of the 3 detox programs that they promote on their internet site and 2 years later you are still in the program. The maximum time period of the 3 detox programs is 6 WEEKS! Sounds fishy!! I have found out that it sounds very fishy to those in authority also!!
Buprenex is approved by the FDA for pain management and depression. I have suffered for 22 years with pain and surgeries. Finally, Buprenex has given me controll of my pain. I could addicted to the drug if I continued to participate at this clinic. They will hand you all that YOU REQUEST!! To be purchased at their in house pharmacy only!!
I recently visited my family physian, who has followed my care for 12 years, he did not have any problems prescribing me the Buprenex.
I firmly agree with you about the addictive personality etc. That is the main aspect that all of these programs lack, providing a professional to discuss the person problems and find out why they continue to abuse their bodies with drugs or alcohol. There are alot of people on Methadone in my community. Have you ever tried to come down off of Meth? These people are frantic if they miss their 4am appointment. Nice thing about the Buprenex. None of that! The longer that I am on the Buprenex, I realize that I may not have been much of an addict, just a person with alot of pain who spent too many years on opiates and they became a bad habit!! Don't miss them or need them!! Usually when I make up my mind I keep it made UP!! Stopped drinking, cold turkey 6 years ago, have never touched a drop since. One day at a Time!!
There does seem to be alot of people taking more drugs related to psycological happenings in their lives. Don't take offense if I did not state that correctly. I have never had any problems with depression etc and any OCD etc, God helped me discover what a waste of my valuable and such limited time those things were, so I thank him for that!!
Good luck, thanks for the imput about this site. Yes, I am new and learning, but this is the best site I have found for people who diligently keep up with their discussions!
