The best thing to prescribe is diet and exercise.  Diet for your body and exercise for your mind.  Either go to after care or start learning everything you can learn about addiction, depression, and recovery.....everything.  Read a lot of posts on here to.  Most likely any question you could possibly have will be answered in great detail by some of the threads already started.  You will likely get a lot of information on this post as well but while you are waiting for responses I urge you to go back and look at some of the knowledge that has been building on here for years.  

I have no knowledge of methadone or suboxone but other do.  Good Luck and welcome to the forum.
