Quick Suboxone Question

[DanielMN915]

So I have looked over the Suboxone megathreads and could not find an answer to my question or anything even similar to my question.

I am starting treatment in 4 days for a three year opiate addiction. I have been to detox and have done everything I can to get the funds to go into residential treatment. I am one week clean tomorrow morning. Anyway, my question is are they going to put me on suboxone treatment or make me go cold turkey for my 28 day stay? I have had two evaluations and I know the place I am going offers suboxone treatment.


It has been almost a week since I last used and I cannot believe I am STILL having withdraws. When I am lucky enough to sleep I dream about pills and I've been able to make it through withdraws many times before but I just can't seem to get using out of my head long enough to stay clean. I just want to get a better idea of what I'm walking into come Monday when I get to treatment. I know these things are usually taken case by case but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about them putting me on suboxone.

Thank you and if any further information is needed for someone to make an educated guess just ask.

Well when I did a 28 day program what they would do is start someone on 8mg Sub the first day and basically half the dose then for another 4 days. So 5 days total of Sub. I didn't get any sub at all because I told them I took Benzo's recently. It depends on the rehab because people were telling me how other places they went to they could have as much Sub as they want.

If I was you I would tell them my last dose of Oxy/Dope was a few days later then it actually was so you can still get some Sub and not have them say "Well it's been a week so you don't need it" I'm sure the place won't keep you on Sub the whole time your there anyway so if you really believe you need it then tell them you only just stopped and definitely need the Sub.

Great....I was hoping I would actually be getting the long term help I need to quit pills forever but it looks like that won't happen where I'm going. FML.

Somebody please tell me different. I've searched all over for more info on the place I'm going and am coming up with nothing. I was thinking they would put me on a long term suboxone treatment because of my long term addiction and tendency to relapse after a week or more clean.....this place better not just waste a month of my life.
