What Is the Main Difference Between Suboxone and Methadone?
Question by Elle: What is the main difference between Suboxone and Methadone?
From my research it seems that Suboxone is safer, fits into your life better (no standing in line at 5am) and does not have the severe withdrawals that methadone users experience. I would like some real life answers..it is to get off of the roller coaster of pain pill addiction. How expensive is Suboxone w/o insurance?

sub is “easier’ to get, meaning you only need to see a doctor once a month to get it instead of going to a clinic daily.
However, they are both super long lasting opiates and both produce severe and very long lasting withdrawals once you try to discontinue them.
Most sub doctors are charging about $ 200 per office visit (for a 10 minute visit just to write a script) and the pills cost about $ 7 for an 8mg tablet at a pharmacy.
Getting off pain pills is a 30 day roller coaster ride, and getting off sub or methadone is a 2 year roller coaster ride…a very bumpy ride that most can’t tolerate.
You also will have all the same side effects on sub or methadone you have on pain pills, plus usually some new ones.
I would strongly recommend you look at other options. I went the sub route after being filled with lies from doctors about how great it is, and it robbed me of 5 years of my life.
If i had to do it all over again, I would go inpatient to detox for 30 days, or less, and be done with it. No one ever wants to go inpatient and be away from their family and loved ones for that long, but compared to sub or meth, 30 days of your life is a breeze.
