Anyone have exp. with a detox clinic
Hi !!! I can't tell you how much you have all helped me so far. Can't wait to return the favor. Anyway I am currently trying.... to taper down from 20 10mg lorcet a day to something less before going to the clinic on the 14th. Has anyone tried the suboxone tabs yet for wdls????? I've been taking the stupid lorcet for 6 years now and i finally feel ready to take my life back. The 24 hour detox proc. sounds to good to be true (not to mention way tooo expensive) So I have opted for the suboxone tx.
Any info about what to expect would be appreciated. I am a 38 yr old female scared of wdls.

Hey everyone, i want you to know that this forum has really been helpful, although i am hoping someone will respond to me. My vicodinES/Perc addiction was definitly out of control. I have two small children and a business where i work out of my house (really helped be keep using.LOL) Hooray, Hooray, Hooray . . . i have gone though a medically assisted detox in Michigan (you'd have to look on the web). I got lucky the clinic was only about an hour from my house. Anyway, it was a painless detox. Today is day 6 without any opiates!!!!! I feel really good. Yesterday, although, alittle sluggish felt more like myself than i have in 2 years. WOW!.... ok previous post give the outline of what they do, but they also do a two day detox, for those who are using to much (like heroin or meth, i'm guessing) to painlessly detox at the clinic with anesthesia ... somehow they clean your blood and you walk out clean. . .. staying clean is another story as we all know. But, i am on day 6 . . . day 8 i go and drop a urine if clean of opiates . . . which i will be i will be getting an implant that with last for 7 weeks . ..it is an opiate blocker (kinda like antibuse for alcoholic. . .the difference is you dont get violently ill, you just cant get high on vicodin or any other opiates, including heroin. . . .i will try to end here saying that yesterday was the first day that i felt like my self. . . and today, this morning no narcotic hangover . i am actually out of bed before my kids, ages 6 and 11, they have had to prod me - how sick is that. and today i am up lunches are made, mom is happy .how cool is that.!!! . am hoping to make some friends here and am hoping for a reply . . .i would also like to know about this Thomas recipe. . .will it help with aftercare or just for healing the body? . . . .. all of you don't know how much you have already helped me.
first of all i would like to say that all last week-end i did nothing but look for help to detox/withdrawl from vicodin, an 18 month habit. i read all the conversation on the forum. i also searched the web intensly for some kind of help. a 30 day detox was out of the question, i have two small children and my husband has to work, i guess if push came to shove we could have some how worked it out. in any event i found the help and it is working, it will be five days (horray) sunday morning!! i found a program called medical assisted detox, i was given medicin for the stomach cramps, valium for the hebbie gebbies, and a light form of sleeping pills (all in limited quanities). .. the trick is you must have a caregiver to stay with you for 4 days,and it is the CAREGIVER THAT ADMINISTERS THE MEDICINE - YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEM YOURSELF. therefore i only had to expose myself to one person, instead of the whole family, i actually had two caregivers (my bestfriend and my husband) so that they took two shifts. now on the seventh day (only two more for me) . . .i will be getting an implant placed just above my pubic area that is a opiate blocker, which means, if i use i will not feel the effects, i have been comfortable and not having any craving. so if anyone is interested the name of the program is PROJECT STRAGHT. i found it on the web or if you want to call for more info the number is 1-888-DETOX-911 or look on the web. Good Luck and Godspeed . . . . .
Hey Jenn,
As far as Thomas' question, I second the motion.
Did you manage to distance yourself from her as we all discussed last time?
Jenn, I'm so sorry for you that it had to come to this before you got that proverbial wake up call.
Don't you move into your own place this month? I hope so.
Jenn, please be careful that you don't "take on" your mother's addiction problem. You have your own to deal with & as you know, it's a truckload & then some. She has to find her own way to and through recovery and you need to concentrate on *yourself*. I'm not saying abandon Mom but you must keep her at arm's length. You've got recovery & some legal problems to deal with so don't be her therapist...okay? She was smart enough to manipulate both you & the system to get her drugs so she's smart enough to get the requisite help. If you let her lean on you, she will & all combined will be a load too heavy for anyone to bear.
No one is going to bite your mom's head off here but it might be best if she didn't mention who she is. Not only will that prevent us from prejudging her but it will force her to stand on her own in this struggle which is what she *has* to do to deal with a long-term, abusive, opiate addiction.
Welcome back, Jenn. I'm sorry for your troubles but maybe now...?
Best,

I just want to know, is your mom going to be a felon too, or did she leave you holding the bag?

Hi guys, I know it's been awhile...basically i was stupid for the last time with this pharmacy thing. And I mean it this time. I don't know what will happen with this, legally, but I could be a Felon! (I guess I already am, right?) Anyway, I'll give you guys the full story later. I wanted to tell you that I am refering my mom to the site. She has finally realized that she needs and wants help. She's been on Vicodin for twelve years, about fifteen a day, and she's been tring to taper. I know that everyone has had their opinions about my mom, but she needs you guys, and I couldn't imagine a better place to send her than here. You guys are awesome. You'll probably hear from her soon.
Thanks!
Thanks!
obviously you haven't read any of my writtings in the beginning of this post and the bup/xub post of which i started. if you would have read them you would see i am as addict and i have been contributing very good and valuable information on the use and effect of suboxone as i am presently on. im not sure what your problem is but you are totally wrong with your assumption about me. go ahead and go back and check it out and you will see. im no liar and i rally have no idea what you are thinking.
have a nice day and good luck

Actually, I never accused you of being anyone. I merely asked you a direct question. You're response tells me that you are in fact groovygirl/mariposa/minime/BSills/hairysoda et al.
The problem I have with you, Mariposa, is that you seem to be addicted not only to using drugs, but to using people. And not just any people. You use people in crisis, people who are frequently at the lowest point in their lives. I almost pity you because your lack of compassion for your fellow addicts undoubtedly says more about how you feel about yourself than any of us. I say almost because your method is deception, however transparent those efforts may be.
Mariposa, you're a callous, cynical, manipulative liar. And the good people that come to this forum for help, understanding and acceptance - my friends - deserve better.
I hate writing posts like this. How many more must there be?

Gee, Thomas, didn't minime tell you to get a life and that yu wr meen????
This BSills is a pathetic excuse for a human being. If I'd received the thrashing she has today I'd put my pill bttle back in my purse and go home. What does she do? Slip back into her Thomas bashing. She even uses the same words as she used in her last incarnation!
I think we should ignore BSills. Every time we respond we are giving this mentally diseased person exactly what "it" needs - attention.

I will give you credit for never giving up, like a big festering sore.
Do me a favor and don't apologize for me to BS(yourself).
I wonder how many people have been neglected this time from getting the help they so desperately need, due to another "groovy" distraction. I feel sorry for you.

Yea, I have had experience w/ rehab. I will say it sucked and they ran addicts thru there like today they run students thru schools: ill prepared.
I would like to try rehab again w/ a different perspective but unfortunately I shot my wad for all the wrong reasons, as an ace up my sleeve.
Always on the take, an addict. I realize this is less than clear, but to answer the topic Q, I would say that Detox, esp., their counselors and doctors are less than sympathetic and more on the take as in.. "Is this Friday Payday?'

You know, we used to have a pair (or more) of posters on this forum -- one would offend everyone, then the other would show up to apologize to the first for our "rudeness." Incredibly, at least one of these "people" had used bup for a long time but was now on suboxone. It turned out that this was the work of one person with no other purpose than to manipulate suffering drug addicts and disrupt the forum itself.
Are you Groovygirl/Mariposa/minime?
Imposters just create problems on the forum, so, just to make sure, I'm going to have Med Help check your IP address as well as BSills'. Any objections to that?

Ok, I will ask.
Will you pick up your toys and go home now? Apparently, no one wants to play with you.
