The HIV population has its share of substance abuse issues from prescription opiates to heroin and crack. Stopping these drugs is made difficult because of the severe withdrawals that appear when the drug disappears. But there is hope for the opiate addicted person...and from all accounts it works. Stop the vicious circle of addiction.....ask your doctor about Suboxone. This information will get you on your way to recovery.

suboxone isnt a cure for anybody. it is another opiate and leads to another addiction. withdrawal from suboxone is SIGNIFICANTLY worse–and lasts MUCH longer–than that from heroin or painkillers.
