help! Im not a criminal but i feel like one when I cant afford a prescription of suboxone.

I need to find a program that offers free suboxone because I do not receive insurance from my full time job, nor am I eligible for medicare, there is no way I can afford a prescription of suboxone myself. I feel like I have regressed ten years by scuffling the streets for suboxone like I once did for heroin. I want to do this the legal way and not have the possibility of getting arrested for something that I am trying to defeat my addiction with. I desperately need help finding a program. Please help. Thanks,

Jess

Hey thank you so much for your info, I tried calling that 888 number you gave me and its busy. ALWAYS busy. I cannot seem to get through. I fear if I fax anything my boss will find out, and he has already given me time to get off of methadone, that took months, when I was at 92lbs, so weak, not eating, no sleeping, after all that time and my time was up to get back to work. I had to take the suboxone someone had offered me. and of course, instantly, I was better. for the life of me I cannot find a way to get any help with this, but I will keep trying the number, do they have a direct email address? and whats this on the application about physician number? is the application only able to be filled out by a physician? Thanks again, you all have been very kind and a tremendous help, also, I will check out detox-aid. I have never heard of it. I am so sick of this affliction, Ive been running from sickness for 7 years. I just want to be normal...

hey jess... i feel your pain. that stuff is so expensive. i researched that as a way to quit but couldn't afford it either. i found this stuff called detox-aid. check it out at www.detox-aid.com. i'm not a salesman. i'm just someone who was in your shoes not long ago. detox-aid helped a lot (not as much as sub does) but it doesn't cost as much either. but like i said, when i was in that kind of state, i would consider anyfuckinthing that  might help.

and getting into a program is a great idea. i don't think AA always applies to our kind of problem, but it's better than nothing. i've heard NA can be better but i've never tried it.

peace,
BP

The only way I know to get help like you are asking for is through the VA (Veterns Administration).
