I Take Suboxone for Opiate Addiction. Is Suboxone Itself Addictive?
Question by terrielea: I take Suboxone for opiate addiction. Is suboxone itself addictive?
Best answer:
Answer by Ladycat
With successful buprenorphine treatment as part of a complete treatment plan including counseling, the patient can put the addictive behavior into remission. The patient may still be “physically dependent” on opioids, (as they were prior to treatment) but this can be managed medically and reduced over time by a slow and gradual taper off of the medication. Physical dependence (often mistaken for “addiction”) is not a dangerous medical condition that requires treatment, addiction is. Addiction is damaging and life-threatening, while physical dependence is an inconvenience, and is normal physiology for anyone taking large doses of opioids for an extended period of time.
What Does Drug Cross- Dependence Mean?
Question by sarah: what does drug cross- dependence mean?
Best answer:
Answer by Mathieu
It depends- there are several possible definitions:
1) Cross-dependence (also known as cross-addiction) means that a person is “addicted to everything.” Sometimes in an AA or NA meeting, for example, a person will say “I am (name) and I’m cross-addicted.”
2) Cross-dependency is also a theory in addictionology (not the same as addiction psychiatry or psychology) that a person who addicted to one drug (alcohol for example) can become addicted to any drug if they use it. Another view some take is that (to continue with the example) an alcoholic will not necessarily become addicted to amphetamine but by using another drug of abuse it will eventually lead the person back to their primary addiction, alcohol in this case.

Doctors/Med Professionals: Should Illicit Drug Users Get Free Medical Treatment?
Question by JDA: Doctors/Med Professionals: Should illicit drug users get free medical treatment?
I want to know what the medical profession thinks. Please note, I’m from Australia (where there is universal healthcare)
I know many out in the community abuse illicit drugs because of life circumstances- they have mental issues, take heroin, wind up in prostitution to pay for it, then need the heroin to cope with the prostitution.
Or perhaps veterans who didn’t receive adequate psychological care have PTSD and then take illicit drugs to cope day to day.
Or even those whose chronic pain only responds to marijuana.
