Looking For Advice On A Diy Subutex Detox

Hi everyone. I am new to this site and i'm wondering if anyone here can give me any pointers on doing a detox at home with subutex? My fiance has been clean now for 3 weeks and is doing superb!! I feel like i'm dragging her down and it's not good considering how well she's done up till now. She says she doesn't mind me still being a junkie but I do and feel it's only a matter of time before she says f**k it and gives in! We've already had loads of arguments about "it wont do anything anyway" and "one or two draws will be ok", i caught her just in time on friday,she had the tooter in her mouth!!! I have tried all the local services for help and had door upon door slammed in my face! The drug services here are a joke! I can get subys if i want them but don't know how to go about using them. Has anyone done a rapid detox on subys or even better a home detox on them? Would be very gratefull for any advice anyone can give me.
Let me see if I can find where I posted a plan for an at home detox if you can get subs this would be great if you can and it is very possible to do at home if you read the threads to Tap he has just gone thru a rapid detox at home the last 2 weeks and we have been posting the whole time check it out.I will look for the detox plan ok
ok if you go to the 5th post here Tap tells how his dr told him to do a rapid detox he had 40 mg of the sub and has done this over 2 weeks and will be finished tomorrow 5th entry on the thread "How do you stop?"hope this helps I got to go for a minute but most importantly you have to be in 24 hours of w/d to take sub or you will get VERY SICK!!!!! You also have to takeit sublingually or it will not have much affect.
hi terry , my names graham, how you doing/ i have been on a subutex program coming up on 2 months , i take 12 mg a day, i stay in england now but i am origanally from scotland where i am still on a waiting list for methadon, 18 months. if you can get a subutex script go for it because it has done me the world of good. you need to find a correct level before thinking about detoxing. what are you taking just now if you don't mind me asking then i can compare with what i was taken. i see my doctor on friday and hopefully starting to taper down. the main thing is getting clean i know the quicker the better sounds good but getting clean is the main goal, i have not used heroin since i started my subs, i was looking for a quicker detox but you got to get stable first. before you start to take subutex you need to be in withdrawls if you dont and take subs you are going straight into withdrawls and i have heard its not very pleasant if you know what i mean. post back if you want to talk about anything else take care graham
Hey graham havent seen you around for awhile we started the sub treatment around the same time happy to see you havent used since me either it does work great doesnt it.Glad you are back!!!!
done the trick for me sounds as if your doing not to bad yourself
Make sure before you take first Sub dose that you are AT LEAST 12 hours from your last heroin use. You should not be on any other medication while taking Sub. Sub is taken under the tongue and left to dissolve. It will not work via any other method. Copy this down because I am going to remove it soon.

did that work for you sounds pretty quick but if it did fair play nice one
Yes it is quick. It is the standard home based detox regime used in my country and is highly successful. I recommend the 8 day course.

You can do a longer one and get absolutely no withdrawals at all but this one gets you off quickly and then is generally followed up with a 6 month Naltrexone treatment which commences on the 8th clean day after Sub detox is complete.
That is very interesting and thanks for sharing it I am going to copy it too just in case someone asks me about it.Did youread the post about cpvons daughter being upset because she can not shoot up the Sub I cannot believe that I am having serious doubts that she even wants to get clean that is too bad because her mom is really willing to help her and it is so expensive if it were me there would have to be some serious guidelines she will be in for a big surprise if she tries to shoot the Suboxone I hope the dr does not give her the subutex anyway see you guys around
Some people are addicted to the needle, I have heard people on here say that they have shot up water into their veins because the whole "getting ready" process is so powerful.

Yea,i'm addicted to needles,i've injected water loads of times just to tell my brain that it's a HIT.
I'm new here and I've been reading all of these posts for a while. I'm on suboxone and I've heard horror stories about it. My doctor put me on 24 mg.s a day and I have to admitt that I'm pissed. I want to be off of this garbage as fast as I can. I used heroin for about 7 months after pain pills and I got hooked really quick. I know that a lot of people think that 7 months is nothing, but as far as I'm concerned it's just as bad as 7 yrs. It drove me to want to kill myself several times. Like I said earlier, I'm now on sub. and I just started lowering my dose and plan on being off within a month. My life and my family mean too much to me to let heroin take any more than it already has. I appologize if any one took anything that I said the wrong way, but I am just really mad that I have lost control. I want to see if any one else here is on Suboxone and has any advice thanks in advance and I'll keep reading these posts. I am also willing to help anyone in here any way that I can...I'm not just here for myself.
First time suboxone takers, Before you take your first dose of suboxone READ THIS- I recently decided to kick my heroin addiction. last sunday i aquired a subscciption of sub from my dr. i took my first dose,a 8mg tablet about 7 hrs after i did 3 bags of heroin.It turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life, Within 5 minutes i was in full withdrawl. Something i have never experienced before.I entered the gates in HELL and began an18 hr journey,one i would not wish on my worst enemy.To say the least i was in total agony,both mental and physical.I could not believe the pain,the agony, the hallucinations, and utter misery i was going through. Had i been coherent, i would have gladly killed myself, rather than go this experience. I cannot put into words what i actually went through but believe me it was the worst experience of my 53 years of life.So please follow your dr instrctions and make sure your in withdrawl before taking this drug. Dont make the same mistake i did.
Sincerelly,

i TOTALLY agree with you DD,it is a very,very scary experience,i actually thought that i was gonna die.My heart was beating so fast that i was gasping for air whilst throwing up,hallucinating and trembling at the same time.I was offered another go by the clinic but declined it until i pluck up enough courage to try again.I couldn't beleive what i was going through cos i've detoxed from heroin to subs plenty of times but this was the first from methadone.Anyway i'm 12 or 13 days clean from heroin,feeling good,loads of energy,put on weight and things are looking up so DD in a few days time you'll feel a whole lot better mate,i know when you're feeling rough you don't seem to think that there's a light at the end of the tunnel but there is.Are you still using or did you carry on taking the subs?Chris
Hey Chris, Your cool! Thanks for all the personal replies to my posts. I have been crying the blues all day, and you have been picking me up.Actually i feel great. Tomorrow is day 6 for me and now i know that everything is going to be o.k.Its getting easier and easier,and yes i am still on the subs, doing 16mgs a day right now.i hope to be totally drug-free very soon.Once again, Thanks and hope everyones recovery goes as good as mine is. Good Night- LARRY
yea good night,sleep tight Larry,you're doing brilliant mate if you've been through that ordeal and you still carried on with your detox.You can do anything now,things are gonna seem so easy from now on dude.All the best bro.Chris.
Hey DD ,I am really glad that you stayed on the subs it does make a huge difference in going through w/ds and the only reason you went into the w/ds is because youtook it early I am just really glad you gave it another try that took ALOT of courage after what you jkust described I bet you were scared to take that next dose of sub.Whewwweee.You are going to have your life back in no time and if you need to be on the subs for a littlw while dont worry about it I used to feel a bit gilty for taking them but I bust my butt today to work a solid program and am far from even acting like I did whilst on opiates.I had a job my own house and a 12 month lease in a beautiful newly remodeled house in 12 days and have maintained a drug free home for the last 3 months.I feel great about my life today.Good luck to you if you feel half as good as I do in a couple of weeks you are going to feel like you have gotten a brand new shiney life!!!!!
