suboxen alternatives

I have been a user of opiates for approx. 4 years now. I have been back and forth with suboxone. can stay on it for a little bit, but then I relapse and have to start all over again. Is there something else other than suboxone to help me stay clean?

I agree 100% with cat, sub can only help if you want to change your self and I think that is the problem.
Good luck and try to get some type of therapy

Unfortunately, there's no magic pill that helps us stay clean.  Suboxone only works for people when they make changes in their life and within themselves.  There's a saying in the meetings..."Nothing changes if nothing changes"  It's all about a good plan/program - however you do it - that's the best thing to help people stay clean.  good luck to you.

Meeting or therapy is probably the best thing if you want along term recovery .There is not a pill out there that is going to get you from relapsing but having a recovery program really can help you get and stay clean ...
