what kind sub pills can i buy to help addiction to perks
my question is what kind of pills or anything can i buy to help my girlfriend get off perks....she started using for back problems then just cause she liked the high then because the addictionj...first she swallowed them , then snorted, and smoked now she is shooting them up....I been to prison for shooting her dealer and she lost kids and everything cause this so i refuse to give up on her n im really trying so whats out there that can help besides clinics or rehap....plzzzz let me know
I know there was something from the original post I forgot to mention. It's CRITICAL that your GF knows that injecting Percocets can easily and quickly be deadly for dozens of reasons. Until she's willing to get help, perhaps at LEAST dissuade her from injecting Percoet.
I couldn't agree more. While subs may be very helpful to people when used as only one aspect in their recovery plan, the person trying to go it alone will almost always have a VERY bad experience. Not to mention, getting subs off the street reinforces that "addict" behavior and also the mindset that they are like tylenol would be to a headache...a way to avoid the pain of w/ds. They are much more than that.
If at all possible, stay away from subs UNLESS your girlfriend is under a doctor's care, which means a plan is in place and is being monitored. Good or bad, there are too many stories of people having a harder detox from subs than a lot of meds. Please - don't just listen to me; talk to a professional. And no subs until you do.
I agree with her wanting to quit is the key to the whole situation. It sounds like her entire life is rapped in drugs, so her entire life must be unraveled to get out. There's no wrong way to get clean. Try everything until something works. I usually suggest subs as a last resort, but suboxone/subutex FAQs at the bottom of this page has some practical information to consider. I really hope she gets out soon, one way or another. Good luck
I am a sub user and it saved my life. People say its one drug replacing another and I say so what it was my right to chose my own way to get clean. No matter what anyone says its your girlfriends choice not everyone mentally or physically can handle going cold turkey and no one is weaker for choosing not to do so. Please don't let the bad opinions of Suboxone stop you for at least giving your girlfriend options. These are all opinions on here and without facts or any experience to back it up it becomes useless. Do your own research and help your girlfriend but only she can stop using. Hope this has helped you.
can we stop the sub bashing it has its faults but mainly bcuz its over priscribed. but telling people they made the wrong choice dsnt help. some people do it to save their life.
She has to want to stop on her own. If she lost her kids, and she's STILL using...it's very simple. SHE'S JUST NOT TRULY READY TO STOP USING. You cannot make someone stop.
Save yourself before you go back to prison for this woman. It sounds cruel, but you need to let her hit her absolute bottom on her own before she (may) see the light of day and change.
It sounds like she is a severe case. Rehab is a good option (even tho you said you were looking for solutions other than rehab). Narcotics Annon meetings are FREE and extremely useful. You don't have to be clean to go, just a strong desire to stop using. Again, I don't think she is there yet. But it will not hurt to go check a meeting out.
THERE ARE NO SUBSITUTION PILLS THAT WILL HELP HER QUIT TAKING OPIATES. You either take opiates, or you don't. Suboxone/Subutex are also opiates, and don't let anyone else tell you they are not. They are stronger, and have a extremely long half life...which mean withdrawals from Suboxone/Subutex are months long for most people.
You need to educate her, advise her, and be there for her if that is your choice. She only has a few options...none are easy, all of them take incredible will power and strength to accomplish, and none of them will work unless she is 1000000% ready to go through the 7 layers of hell in order to get her life back and be clean and NEVER take an opiate again.

Hello!
I don't think any of us were suggesting sub. The OP mentioned that, and we (at least me, speaking for myself) were just trying to encourage her to do it the right way, and not on her own, if that's what she decided.
Everyone is different and chooses a different path. When used properly, as a tool, sub CAN help a person get clean and stay clean. There's no right or wrongway, only varying opinions.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this. The better question is, does your girlfriend want to stop? You can do everything within your power but until she wants to quit, there's nothing you can do that's going to help. I don't agree with the others suggesting suboxone, sure it will get her off of perocets but then she will just be addicted to suboxone. Why trade one drug for another? I wish you and your girlfriend the best. I hope she decides to fight her addiction and get the help she needs.
The first thing is, she cannot start taking Suboxone off the street. She just can't. That is NO WAY to get clean. She needs to go to an addiction specialist, like I did. There's no rehab. But she needs to get onto Suboxone the right way and be monitored.
Wow. That's a crazy story!
It's noble that you don't want to give up on her, and I'm not suggesting you do, but you MUST understand you cannot "make" her get clean. Only when SHE is really ready and only when SHE is willing to do the work and make the changes will she succeed.
You won't want to hear this, but I really think her best shot would be a long-term intensive inpatient program. If she is going to want to try Suboxone, please encourage her to do it properly, through a good clinic that requires therapy, drug testing, etc. Not just a clinic that hands her a script, and not from the street. She MUST explore the reasons why she became addicted, and then figure out how to make the necessary changes so she doesn't relapse.
PLEASE do not risk your own life, or freedom based on her addiction. I know you love her and want her to be well, but you simply cannot make rash decisions that will forever change your life. You've already done that...I sincerely hope you've learned from that and realize what you did wasn't the answer. Your GF was the one buying the drugs, SHE is the one who has the problem.
Very best to you, I sincerely hope she is willing to do whatever it takes to get clean.
