For those of you who have been seeking a Suboxone program in Southwest Louisiana, I have some good news to share for the ones who aren't aware of the expansion approved by our state.

I live close to BR and I have been driving to Jefferson Parish. I am disabled and between the gas and visit I end up paying almost 200.00 plus each month. I am sure that it will be cheaper being on SSI & SSI. I have never used any ille...

Hi, I was informed just two days ago from my pharmacist that there is now a generic form of Suboxone film available and that's what Medicaid receiptents will receive opposed to the Brand-name Suboxone film.

I relapsed after 5 years. I need help finding a doctor who prescribe suboxone. I get medicaid but I'll pay for the visit. I live in Alma Ga small town and there's only one doctor who treats the addiction. After months of trying I can't get the doc or nurse to approve. If there's one in GA may I have the number? I'd drive. I have to secure my kids and my anxiety is worse knowing I have to call around get on sites to plea for help. Why is it nearly impossible to get help unless you're rich and keep doc on payroll. I'm not a Michael Jackson, I'm just trying to get my life back. ## Hello, Kenzo! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. You can use the search engine on the website to look for doctor's that treat with in your area, yo...
