I have this friend who comes from a very good family, lives in your average middle class american family, but is addicted to herion, finally he has decided that he has hit rock bottom, losing his job, some friends, family life sucks ect, and that he wants to now kick his habbit. He has been using for about 2 years and quitting cold turkey is just not going to cut it, I have been doing alot of reasearch online ,and came across a med called suboxone, which is used for the aid of withdraw and seems to have a very high susucess rate on willing quitters, either way here is were the issues come in, getting help with suboxone from a doctor cost alot, ranging from 250-300 a visit without insurance. Im willing to help pay for his help along with his parents, but does anyone know any other route we can take? Maybe someone has gone through this with someone before, or is in the medical field that can give some advice, thanks for the space.
