Hello and Welcome.

I don't see anyway around going to detox. You need to w/d from more than one kind of drug. Benzos like ativan can be dangerous to do without medical supervision. I'm not sure why you are taking provigil....maybe to help you stay awake during the day?? The sublingual subutex is taken to w/d from opioids, but if it's taken too long you become addicted to it also. I'm amazed your dr. didn't monitor what you were taking better. Sounds like he just added drugs when he thought you needed them.

I'm so sorry about your business and your family life. Maybe if you leveled with everyone you would have a good support system. Is that possible?? Please think about this and then post again. There are good people here to help you and I will be watching for your post. I know you're in a bad place right now and I imagine you're very confused about what to do first. My heart goes out to you.

Take Care....LS
