Are you taking opioids for a specific reason or just addicted? I’ve been using Percocet 5/325 for over 15 gears for pain due to an injury. I wasn’t addicted but dependent, for which I now have chronic pain syndrome due to the injury. I have been able to cut my Percocet use completely by using high dose CBD and low dose THC. My main pain control is with buprenorphine patches that I replace every 7 days. Buprenorphine is used in the pill, buccal film or long acting injection. The doses are different for chronic pain control and opiate addiction. You can try my method, find a treatment center or your PCP who can begin you on this medication.
The other thing I wish to point out that “addiction” has very bad associations with that are no longer appropriate and I suggest you try “opiate use disorder”. The definition of addiction is to seek more and more of a drug and in increasing doses sometimes. But using these opiates for pain is not addiction.
