Addiction Medicine: You need to work with your addiction medicine physician on this. I see you're already on subutex, which is an effective medication. This isn't the only option though -- Methadone and others are also possible. Discussing your entire medical situation with your own addiction medicine doctor can help you develop the most viable plan for you.

Rehab is best: A rehab program is the best approach for opioid addiction. Suboxone is becoming more common in addiction treatment in some rehab programsbut the goal shoud be to get off all narcotics.

Many options, but...: Naltrexone, methadone and suboxone are the drugs used to treat opiate addiction. However, these drugs merely buy u time by lowering ur risk of relapse while you engage in the core work of recovery - which is disengaging from using friends, building new rituals to replace those of addiction, going to NA, working with a sponsor, going through an (usually outpatient) treatment program. Good Luck!
