Hi and welcome! First I want to Congratulate you on realizing you need help and for seeking out the forum to get informed on Suboxone.
I too am a mom, I have 4 small children and like you became addicted to opiates. I have been on Suboxone for almost 6 months and for me (and many others) it has worked wonderfully. Instead of explaining the specifics of how Sub works I think you should go to YouTube and watch Dr. Junig’s videos, I believe he posts them under suboxdoc as that is his posting name here. If you have trouble finding them I will post the link once I am at a computer (I am on my phone). He is an extremely knowledgeable Suboxone Dr and explains how and why it works much better than I could.
As far as cost goes it can be very expensive. For me my 1st appointment was $300 and $100 a visit after the initial appointment. After I was started on sub I had to come back in two weeks and from then on I have monthly visits. The medication is very expensive but R & B (the makers of suboxone) do have a patient assistance program that you can apply for. If accepted you will receive all of your medication free for one year. Every Dr is allowed 3 patients in the assistance program so you may want to take that into consideration while looking for your Dr.
Let me know if you have anymore questions after watching Dr. Junig’s videos and I will help you to the best of my ability. I am sure others will be by as well to offer their knowledge on the subject. I sincerely hope you make the decision to get on sub or some other form of recovery. You deserve to live a healthy, happy life and your family deserves to have a happy, healthy mom. Please whatever you decide take care of yourself.
