Many people feel using Suboxone is a crutch. We have even heard from patients that even some of the Narcotic Anonymous people state ” you are not really in recovery”. Neither of these statements are true. Remember each person has a different past. Many were hurt and the injury started the road of addiction. Having Suboxone to assist with your chronic pain issues and curves the cravings for opioids, allows you to restart your life. You will no longer need to manipulate others to hide your behaviors. You can hold a job (no longer being high). Make yourself proud of YOU!
