A member asked:
For suboxone treatment to be effective for opiate cravings, what's the ideal treatment time. when treatment is over will cravings be easier to control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Difficult to say: It depends on what substance you were abusing, how well you change your social network, support resources available and your motivation. Recent studies suggest that some may never be able to completely stop the treatment. Never the less, each case is unique. Try to find a treatment program that works for you. Suboxone treatment is incredible if you work with it and well worth the effort!
