Suboxone is a very powerful drug but addiction specialists are seeing some good results with it. It takes away that craving sensation and the withdrawal that is usually horrible when you don’t have your narcotics, Suboxone keeps that under control as well.

Your friend should look for a doctor who can prescribe and treat him with Suboxone.

You have to be in full-blown withdrawal to be given Suboxone. Otherwise you get this opposite effect and you can get really really sick from it.

Tell your friend to call his local methadone program and see if they can suggest a physician in his area who can treat with Suboxone.

Wish him good luck for me, addiction to painkillers is a terrible problem to have.
