I wonder if Methadone might be a better treatment option for him?? Most Suboxone users say they don’t really "feel" their dose and it seems like he really still wants to feel that opiate high. I’ve never taken Methadone, I really don’t know that much about it, other than it’s used to treat opiate addiction too. We have a few members on this site who are familiar with Methadone, hopefully some of them will pop in and offer their thoughts or suggestions on Methadone.
It’s so very hard to compare one persons addiction to anothers, danie71. I understand that you were able to halt your drug use after you hit your bottom, but your brothers addiction is more than likely significantly different than yours and apparently he hasn’t hit his bottom yet?
Addiction, as with many things in life, comes in different flavors and different strengths.
I was able to kick cocaine years and years ago without too much difficulty, but it took me FOREVER to get off of opiates. Opiates had a grip on me that I honestly thought I would never be able to push past.
Have you considered sharing with your brother the fact that you’re a recovering addict?? He might open up to you a bit more about what’s going on and why and you might be able to help him a bit more?
I’m so sorry that you and your family are having to go through this. My prayers are with you and your family.
