I come from a family with a LONG line off addicts. Every person that is now clean (which some have been now for years) in my family did it without any type of therapy or groups, a couple were even on suboxone & have yet to relapse. It depends on the person as to whether they would benefit from any type therapy or not. You cant force someone to go to therapy when they choose not to and you cant force it to benefit someone when it wont. Everyone is responsible for their own recovery not their doctors. Doctors are there for the medical part of it, yes everyone should be told about therapy by their doctor but it shouldnt be mandated. Many people have no insurance or insurance that doesnt cover subs so they are barely able to pay for the medicine let alone all the therapy you are suggesting be mandatory. If it ever was mandated then im sure ALOT of people would not be able to participate in treatment and then might not ever get the chance. If anything you should be trying to work towards awareness about what gets people in this mess in the first place so maybe some people will never even have to think about suboxone. Everyone needs to do their own recovery & make their own mistakes & learn from them, therapy wont help all of us..If we truly want this then we will get it, with or without therapy. Its the kids that are about to take their first drug that we need to get messages & help to, Its the people beings prescribed percocets for a bad back that dont know what theyre getting into.. those are the people that need help.
