So, I got home from prison January 19th of this year, and a couple days after I was out I started getting cravings for heroin. I didn't know what else to do, I couldnt lose my family and I am currently on parole and I DEFINATELY don't want to go back there 8) SO, I started using suboxone, and I am currently too. I take about 1.5mg a day and tried to stop twice. The first day was okay, the second I just couldn't take it anymore. I have a short span, so all these long tapers aren't going to work for me. When I asked for Suboxone at my outpatient clinic my counselor told me that I could get the vivitrol shot, which I don't want. I know this works for me, but on my first drug eval I failed for Suboxone so they think I have a problem. Personally I think its the counselor im working with.. Cause with the amount im taking its really not enough to get high, just enough to get the cravings away cause im absolutely petrified to go back to heroin OR prison. I don't know what to do to help me with the withdrawals.. I wanted to do a taper. But I don't have enough time for that. I really wanted to be on the sub program, I'm wondering if I should switch outpatients. Regardless now im to the point to where if I don't take it, ill be in withdrawal and relapse. I just am so stuck, and so stressed. I've never done anything like this.. I'm hoping for some words of advice.8(
