Sorry i didnt realize this was a hep C forum i thought it was addiction. But yes it does help. Physically u will feel fine, but mentally u wont be high. It gets easier, and slowly u can get ur life back. Im 22 also and have been taking drugs since i was like 15

Box and tek are the same thing except in suboxone they add medication so you cannot shoot them or you will go into immediate and withdrawl.

Usually a good shrink doc rehab guru will put you on the suboxones and then when you are starting to wean off put you on the subutek. That is what mine did.

I am on suboxone, if used as ur doctor prescribes them, and you dont abuse them, and if your not on them for years and years it will be fine. It will help u stop abusing your liver to get onto subs if you are a serious addict and use these as a appropriate withdrawal matter. How long have you been using? and what were u using? I was using norcos, up to 30 a day, for 3 years. Most people with less than a year abuse should not use subs, says my doctor atleast, or depending on the patient too. Let me know if I can help i do know alot about this topic.
