opiate dependence
"I started Suboxone 2 months ago.  Prior to this I had been abusing painkillers for over ten years, and have been to jail about 5 times over fake prescriptions.  Suboxone is a miracle.  I don't think about getting high anymore, period.  I take two 8mg's a day and I'm happy at that dose.  The only side effects I have are a little constipation and increased sweating.
This is how I feel about taking a drug like Suboxone to treat addiction:  I believe that opioid dependence is a medical disease, and that therefore it will respond to the right medication.  I think an opioid-dependent person using Suboxone is no different than a diabetic person using insulin.  I can't imagine why I wouldn't just take Suboxone the rest of my life."
