I’m interested to know how many people would actually be interested / willing to do this, especially those in the US who get their monthly supply of Suboxone without needing to go into a clinic on a daily / 3-5 daily basis (unlike us poor prisoners of her majesty)…

I do get the feeling people like myself, who need to go to the pharmacy every 2-3 days would see much more benefit to the implant. But it doesn’t stop there. I’m curious as to whether non IV drug users may be more apprehensive to get an invasive procedure like an implants and IV addicts may be more comfortable with an idea like that?

Let me know.

Here’s how the implant works:

Basically, 1-3 implants (dependent on dose requirements) are put under the skin on the arm. The implants slowly release buprenorphine into the body over 6 months, meaning a person can pretty much forget about it in that time.
