Found this about Suboxone

[Coolio Hernendez]

In the realm of painkiller addiction, neither Subutex or Suboxone are more harmful than the original drug of abuse and there’s no way to abuse them that couldn’t be replicated with double the intensity (and twice the horrific outcome) with the painkillers themselves.

Bottom line: it’s better to make sure that Suboxone and Subutex are at least as accessible to those who are addicted to opioid-based drugs as their drugs of choice. Even at their worst, their half as harmful as street drugs and opiate prescription meds.

I agree coolio...if in that circumstance, i would rather take a small dose of prescribed sub when i was craving than a handful of my DOC...

This really made me feel a little better....

The study of the day: long-term drug use rewires circuitry in the brain so that any and all positive rewards pale in comparison to more of the drug of choice. This explains why the man who has been told by his wife that he can only come home when he gets clean just can’t stay away from using. It explains why the woman who is under threat of losing her children still can’t leave the pills alone.

Rita Goldstein was a part of the study at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. She says, “This altered sensitivity to reward may help explain why some drug-addicted individuals are unable to modify their drug-taking behavior, even in the face of well-understood negative consequences and/or positive incentives for behavioral change.”

She also said, “Individuals with such blunted neural and behavioral sensitivity to rewards may have a particularly difficult time responding to abstract incentives designed to motivate behavioral changes — especially when outside of a structured treatment environment or when rewards are not readily available or clearly contingent on behavior.”
