So it's taken forever to get an appt with a suboxone clinic and iv been clean so far almost 2 weeks and had withdrawals. should i still need suboxone?

Possibly, yes: If you have a history of opiate dependence, especially if you have relapsed several times, even though you don't need it to manage withdrawal symptoms, you may want to consider Suboxone as a way to prevent relapse. It should help manage cravings in addition to blocking the effects of other opiates. Good for you for getting clean and good luck!

Depends: Suboxone is used for cravings as well as withdrawal symptoms due to opiate use. Are you clean from all opiates for 2 weeks?. What else are you doing for your recovery?Have you thought about vivitrol? You might still benefit from Suboxone treatment even if has been 2 weeks. Your goal now should focus on relapse prevention as well as avoiding withdrawal symptoms.
