All forms of medication assisted treatment are the proven most effective treatment for opiate addicts. Restricting anyone from any one form of medication makes no sense. Suboxone and Subutex or generic buprenorphine work exactly the same way and many patients on buprenorphine alone are able to live without chronic headaches and other additional side effects. It is also the least expensive form of medication and not allowing patients to begin or continue this medication is immediately life-threatening. So many people will return to relapse and drug use without the medication that has proven to be effective for them. It is also the least expensive of pharmaceutical treatments so anybody who is paying cash is dependent on a medication they can afford. There is absolutely no reason to demand these patients be switched to a medication with naloxone that is three or four times more expensive when the new loxone has been proven to be inactive. I don't know what occurred to encourage this change but it is not the right way to go. Take some time to get to know the patients who all their lives two these life-saving medications. Or those lives worth compromising for the change that has been set in place? I think all of us can agree that they are not. I would be curious to know why these changes have been set in place and I'm 100% positive that some very simple Research into the matter would show that it is unnecessary and also detrimental. If anyone takes the time to read this I very much appreciate it.
