meth clinic and seboxin

I know everyone say this however this is true. i have friend who is taking signed up to go to the meth clinic. bad news if u ask me me. but, my question. is suboxine any better? i am told its not as long term as the meth clinic is. how true is that? My research shows seboxine to be the better of the two choices. however meth is cheaper and my friends family  is paying for meth clinic and chose it because of the daily price. but in the long run, suboxine would be better because u would not have to pay as long as you would for meth clinic.

they are both replacement narcotic opioids. so the addict is basically jumping out of the frying pan into the Fire !!the money grubbing subdoc system today is a total joke act.  I have asked several times, to sub users, if their sub doc told them that sub is a narcotic opioid that is hard to wd on, and I still have not had anyone say.......yes they did!they are quick to throw people on it, that should not be on it.  they are both worse to shake off and should only be used as a last resort.

certainly there are cases where it should be used.

Both of these treatments are harm reduction or replacement therapy. I think methadone is better for longer periods of time and sub  may be better for short detox but a lot of people would argue with me. I don't like sub for maintenece and it can be problamtic if someone has an emergency. Also it's not as good of a painkiller as methadone and doesn't satisfy a hard core addict as well as methadone. I feel that both drugs are overused and very addictive. I don't like seeing vicodin addicts getiing treatment and getting hooked on sub or methadone which is way worse than hydro. Both drugs have good uses but I think they are way overused.
