Transitioning from High Dose Opiates to Suboxone for Chronic Pain

The problem with Suboxone (don’t know if your doc told you this) is that because it’s used traditionally for people struggling with addiction… once you are on it you will never be able to go back to regular pain meds again and insurance won’t pay for them. Make your decision with much thought.

@girl4god can you share where you learned of this limitation with Suboxone? It sounds like it may be a personal experience with you and the insurance provider you have. Are you able to share some additional details for a greater understanding?

I'm not certain where you got your information from but it is incorrect. You should not post information such as this without checking facts. Many treatment centers offer tapering methods proven to be effective moving off Suboxone. If your own personal experience was bad it is no reason to bash an important treatment for addiction. Also, Suboxone is only used for addiction treatment and not chronic pain control, unless the patient has an addiction component plus chronic pain. Buprenorphine has proven to be an effective pain control treatment.
