Question by liz21283: How can I find soboxen?
I have an opiate addiciton that has pretty much ruined my life ike all drugs do I cannot afford to take the time from work to recover.I have heard about a new medication out there and I had a friend who let me try one and it seemed to work.The thing is I cannot afford the cost of the doctors to have it prescribed for me.The name is soboxen.I am going thru a divorce and I cannot give up my daily life to go into rehab and this medication lets you go to work and complete your daily life without the physical withdrawals.I am looking for someplace that is willing to work with me financailly.Has anyone heard of this, and if they have does anyone know where I might be able to speak to a doctor about whether it is right for me?I truly believe it could help me, but again I cannot afford the upfront price that most dr.’s office have. I checked around and it is about $ 150 per appointment.I live in Volusia county,FL.If anyone know where I can go please help.If you need more info let me know.

Question by Grandma: Have any of you watched that show called “Intervention”?
Most of those people they talk into going for treatment are sober for awhile after and start back up, then they advertise for more people to come forward for help. It doesn’t look very successful. It looks like there’s a big failure rate. What do you think of that show? And is the failure rate usually that high?

Best answer:

Answer by E-ma
I have seen the show.
I think the biggest problem with the failure rate is that these people are not ready to quit when they are sent to rehab.
I know that for abused spouses, the national average for leaving an abusive relationship takes 7 attempts. (They love the abuser, hate being abused.)
So I think it would be the same or higher when trying to leave an addiction that makes someone feel good.
