Please Help !!!!

My daughter is addicted to Oxy's  - We applied for insurance and was denied due to HPV issues - What is the proper way to go about getting her on Suboxone without insurance? Do I take her to a PCP?  If so, what do I say to the receptionist when I ask for an appointment? - Do I tell them she is addicted or just not feeling well?  We plan on being honest with the doctor, but we don't want to be rejected during the initial phone call!  Can we go to any PCP?

Mom I understand your concerns. i have a husband and a son that were addicts and they went to inpatient rehabs. How old is your daughter and how long has she been using? Wouldn't recommend the sub route that is another addiction and is harder to get off than the oxys. Has she had any issues with the law? The reason I ask is if she does you can ask the court to stipulate her to a drug rehab and they usually do. There are also intensive outpatient programs. Please keep the faith. I would suggest getting her into counseling so she can start to work through her issues. I will pray for you because I know living with someone who you love that is an addict is extremely difficult so much emotion and heartache. But there can be healing and they can live a clean life. Please believe.there is hope.
Blessings
Debbie
