Opiate addicition recovery. Suboxone or methadone?
I've been using opiates now for about a year. But until recently, the past 3 4 months I've been very very heavily involved in them. It started off with buying some percs, the roxies, and now heroin. What use to be a 50 dollar a week habit, is now as 75 100 a day. And it's been this way for about 2 months. I have tried multiple times to try and quit but the withdawels are so unbearable. I work 2 jobs and have incredible back pain. I can't and don't have a 3 5 days to just withdraw and feel like shit. I am debating on either trying to get a script for suboxone or going to a methadone clinic to try and get off for good. Considering I've only been doing opiates heavily for a rather " short" time compared to some people, which is the best option in your opinion. I have insurance and I am willing to try either or. I just don't want to feel this way any longer and it's cutting into my personal life. Suggestions?
