     Yes if you realy want to get off the opiates (Roxie's) I would realy advise against getting on the Suboxone/Subutex o/p program (buprenorphine), but that is entirely your choice. When getting on that program you're just substituting one opiate for another, and personaly comming off those is the worst and longest withdraw i've ever experience out of all other opiates.  
(Exept methadone i've never done that)

LOOK UP ON THE VIVITROL SHOT IF UR SERIOUS ABOUT STAYING CLEAN.
                  Its rough man but you can do it keep on keepin on
                       Good luck and God Bless

Cant advise on the Requip - -    Dont go to sub unless you have tried and failed at least 2 different ways to quit first. Its not as hard as a lot of tweakers think that it is.............keep posting - - you have lots of moves left......check out the amino acid protocols in the Health Pages along with The Thomas Recipe and start the amino's as soon as you may..........
