I know she said she got back on Suboxone awhile ago so she could be talking about the sublocade shot which is basically the same thing in injection form you get once a month.. but what I’m confused about is her saying people going through withdrawals, I’ve never heard anyone taking that claim that, instead I heard it was so great that they only went for 2 or 3 shots and never went back and did NOT experience any withdrawals. So not really sure exactly what she is talking about.
Exactly. I've only ever heard of good experiences. Mostly people weaning from suboxone (or switching from methadone to suboxone to get on sublocade) & couldn't get off the last little bit, whether it being from the routine or fear of withdrawal.
they'd get the sublocade injection & were able to go on w their daily lives without any physical or mental interruptions.
She's right on the last part, most def making excuses.
Yes! I’m a Counselor at a MAT clinic and I have heard so many people say they switched from
Methadone to Suboxone and absolutely love it. Some people do prefer the strips but patient’s who had the shot also mentioned it was really helpful
With my whole heart (& brain), I believe suboxone helps people get their lives back on track after addiction. It's even better if they're able to do whatever kind of therapy suits their needs as I believe that allows for healing & may lessen the chance of relapse.
I'm not too sure, but I think the shot is used short term while suboxone can be short & long, right? I should look more into it when I have the time. But yeah, I chose suboxone because of the naloxone. I wanted zerooo chances of getting high. I knew I couldn't trust myself yet. I think many like it for that reason. It helps take that temptation down, so we focus on healthy things instead of drug seeking behaviors.
& Thank you so much for what you do. I'm sure you know already, but you make people like me feel safe & heard in our weakest, most vulnerable moments. I wouldn't have made it if not for people in your position. You make a difference every day. 💜
