It has a search engine that you can type in your zip code and find a doc near you... make sure you call around and find out if the doc is going to write a script or want money for an out-patient program... which you don't want cause once on the sub, your husband will not need anything... trust me on this cause I'm on it and have no need for vicodins or norcos... it is the farthest thing from my mind! It even scares me a little because it is so strong! If he does end up on it, make sure he is into the withdrawals... I waited about 18 hours from my last dose to my first 2mgs of suboxone. Even if the doc prescribes 4mgs 4 times a day, start out with 2 cause it probably is overprescribed and is very very strong. Some of us are used to taking a handful of pills and then trying to take a quarter of a tablet is... well wierd! So trust me on this... he can always take more.
Hope this helps... Fish
