Welcome to SuboxForum, a Discussion about Buprenorphine and Suboxone.
This site is open to everyone, including those with addictions to opioids, those who love them, and anyone interested in buprenorphine (aka Suboxone) and other Medication Assisted Treatments for opioid use disorders. Readers are cautioned to take EVERYTHING they read here, and elsewhere on the internet, with a grain of salt. There are too many variables separating one person from another – physiologic, psychologic, spiritual, etc. – to provide answers that will fit every reader. Use these pages as a springboard to talk with YOUR doctor.
This forum is a platform where community members like you can ask and answer questions. This forum also hopes to support the recovery efforts of people who visit here, and to provide a place for others in recovery to do the same. Recovery, after all, works best in a community format.
So again, welcome to SuboxForum. Cookies are placed by Google Adsense, but we collect no personal information. There are no costs to use the forum, and any requests for personal information should be viewed as a SCAM. We suggest that you create an email address just for this site, using a fake name, to help maintain your privacy. Thank you for using the forum to ask or answer questions. Please use your social media accounts to spread the word, as the more people who visit, the more we all will learn.

Buprenorphine for Life
NO arguments about stopping vs. staying, no taper questions. For people who use buprenorphine as the mainstay of their life-long recovery program, with no CURRENT interest in stop dates. We believe addiction is a life-long illness that deserves life-long treatment. For people on buprenorphine and for people who love them- who feel the same way. - 43 Topics
