How long does it take to become addicted to suboxone?
You would need to start taking suboxone at the first signs of withdrawal I have been on sub for over a year. I love it. Just as most posts state...sub will give you a "ceiling high." You will be high while you're taking the sub, no matter how much of a tolerance you will build. But really, there really is no "tolerance". You can google sub clinics in your area. Call and set up an appointment. It's really easy. They can usually get ya an appointment in about a week. Insurance usually covers all costs, but if you do not have insurance...it's not that expensive. I mean, it's gonna be cheaper than buying opiates everyday. I have snorted sub, it's usually been when I'm running low on count though. I recommend sub to anyone and everyone who has an opiate addiction. Suboxone is a lifesaver I dunno what I would've done without it.I finally have my life together. I have all me debts paid, a house, a great job, and a wonderful family who fully supports me. It's not easy waking up in the mornings withdrawing and wondering "...how am I gonna get something today?" It sucks. Just think...you can get sub legally and it makes you feel energetic. You WILL NOT experience ANY withdrawals whatsoever once you start the medication. If you can't succeed with sub, you really just do not want to quit.

Do remember: If you're pregnant, you will need to ask for subutex.
you Get addicted by doing that thing that is really fun or you just cant stay away from what your addicted to.
How old do you have to be to go to rehab?
Some are licensed to take juveniles, and some are not. It also depends on the rehab's policies. Some have their own age restrictions, even for juveniles.

will suboxone show up in a urinalysis?
Yes, suboxone will show up in a urinalysis test, but,, it does not show up as an opiate drug, it shows up as buprenorophine and hence has a test of its own
it is very very rare to be tested for bupamorphine, most probation officers don't even test for it. And most employment test do not include this test because it is a separate and very expensive test.(not true=the test are surprisingly cheaper than i would expect about $0.40 for a one panel test and about $4.85 for a twelve panel test.) I have probably taken 100 urine test and am on suboxone and have never been tested for it. I would worry about. (but it is true that they are rarely given on most probation and employment tests...but where more and more people are finding out about and using this drug i would still be careful... who knows as common as they now are they could add buprenorophine as a regular?

Thrush is a yeast infection that can occur in the mouth, throat and vagina. Drinking alone does not cause it, but the nutritional deficiencies* that go along with alcohol abuse and alcoholism could certainly contribute to immune deficiency that could allow thrush to develop. Frankly, if you have thrush it would be a good idea to see a doctor about some follow-up tests.
