- Finding a doctor who is certified to dispense buprenorphine (AKA Suboxone) is difficult if you''re confining yourself locally. Meditox (www.meditox.com) provides you with a medical team with certified medical professionals who determine whether or not a Suboxone treatment will work for you and, if so, help you develop a personalized treatment plan. You don''t switch one addiction for another but step down to a less harmful drug that allows you to safely and efficiently detox completely. It really couldn''t be easier and it''s completely confidential. Check it out at www.Meditox.com.

- after reading the post from jjp75i i realize so many have trouble finding doctors. keep trying and keep positive, you have to want this. i went to a clinic that was so helpful, if it doesnt feel right to you it probally isn''t the right doctors for you..keep trying to find help. we tried for days to make the right decision for treatment. and really got lucky!

- oh my gosh, i had no idea how sick i was. just like everyone else i started pain pills because they made me feel better, then oxy cotin took over my life. i started the suboxone program and have been drug free for 5 months, saved $27.000, have my life back..it''s wonderful. the people that talk bad about suboxone is the drug dealers. it really works only if you want it to. do it..and good luck.
