Is Suboxone Really Sobriety?

[el_em_en_oh]

If one is taking Suboxone, do you consider that person sober?

*The person takes as prescribed and weened down to the lowest effective dose, with the help of a doctor
*The person doesn't drink alcohol, take any prescription medication they aren't supposed to, nor use any illegal substances
*The person goes to both AA and NA on a regular basis
*The person has a sponsor who has a sponsor
The person has worked the steps

Just curious what the forum thinks.

Is someone that takes Suboxone really "sober"?

I would have to say no to that because even at a low dose it is still taking a drug to be completely clean to me means no drugs at all but it does sound like someone may be on there way to being clean
