How Do You Get Someone Into Drug Treatment Programs?

Question by Sheryl S: How do you get someone into drug treatment programs?

PLEASE HELP WITH OPIATE ADDICTION and SUBOXONE?

Question by : PLEASE HELP WITH OPIATE ADDICTION AND SUBOXONE?
Hey everyone, I had surgery about 3 years ago and it was done incorrectly and was in extreme pain for years. During that time I became addicted to prescription pain killers, Percocet. Several months ago I finally had enough and got help and decided to go for Suboxone treatment. I have been on Suboxone now for about 3 months. I really want to be opiate free and live a normal life without worrying about pills. Do you think I should stop the Suboxone cold turkey and just deal with the withdrawal for a few days or any other suggestions. I would appreciate any answers from people who have been in the same or similar situations. Thanks
