I think 200mg is a lot, how do you take so much without overdosing on tylenol? I think that you need some sort of a support network. For some people NA or AA works because of that. Not all meetings are bible thumping. I guess it depends on the state you live in, bible belt, yada ya. NA and AA are good in the fact that these are anonymous meetings, so you don't have to be afraid of the state coming in and invading your home. It may help you get over the initial hump of kicking the habit. But being that your on a lot of hydrocodone, you probably should first wean down and if you can't do it check in to a detox if possible, a hospital, you don't have to tell them **** about being a mom, just go there to detox. There are very strong laws that prevent anyone accessing you medical records that aren't authorized by you. I think if warrented you may even opt for a short term rehab, but know they will probably expect you to go to NA meetings once you are out, and also to an Outpatient where they will check your urine for drugs.
Also, they go by the whole complete abstinence thing, no drugs, no drinking too. Complete sobriety. So be ready for that.
Hope that helps!!
I'm a mom too. I know what your going through.
Good luck to you. You can do it!!
suboxone treatment, and methadone treatment, are just another drug you will have to kick. They have there own dangers which are many. Now I do agree with you in part about the 12 steps but there are now differnt kinds of therapy that in adjunct with getting clean help a lot more.
Unless your a very hard user its a very dumb thing to do to go on these meds.
Because for a addict mind once you spend months or years detoxing from these meds the beast inside your mind is still waiting for the next fix. That is why aftercare is so important these meds will not keep you clean only you can do that
Peace
Your best chance at long term sobriety and clean time is a rehab facility based on a 12 step program. It sounds like you're open to this idea. Please, do not be afraid...the state will not take away your kids for trying to get well. Plus, the records at these facilities are confidential. Just remember, trying to get clean in an "using" household will be nearly impossible. Your husband must quit as well.
