- In this video, Dr Peter Coleman, who is Board-certified in Addiction Medicine and in long-term recovery himself, shares lessons learned about the risks of getting off of buprenorphine.
-Safe, Comfortable Outpatient Detox
The Coleman Institute for Addiction Medicine has been a leading outpatient addiction treatment center since 1998. Our innovative withdrawal management programs, often referred to as The Coleman Method, have helped thousands of people free themselves from addiction to Alcohol, Opioids, and Benzodiazepines. Originally founded in Richmond, Virginia, our network has expanded to cover 14 cities across the US.
-3 - 8 Day Opioid Detoxification Process
For short-acting opiates like oxycodone, most patients complete their detox and begin Naltrexone therapy within 5 days. Longer-acting opiates like Suboxone and Methadone typically take 8 days. Our standard opioid treatment package in Richmond, VA, Willoughby, OH (Cleveland area) and Wellesley, MA (Boston area) includes the detox and 6 months of case management and Naltrexone therapy. As a non-addictive opioid blocker, Naltrexone dramatically reduces cravings so that patients can focus on their recovery. We have a 98% success rate for completing detoxification and starting Naltrexone therapy. During the detox, we work with patients and their families to develop an appropriate aftercare plan. We also offer a convenient, 3-day outpatient alcohol detox and a Rapid Benzodiazepine Detox.
-Caring, Empathetic Environment
Dr. Peter Coleman understands first-hand the challenges our patients are facing due to his own personal struggle with the disease of addiction. He has been in long term recovery since 1984. Dr. Coleman has dedicated his career to treating addiction patients and creating a team and an environment conducive to long term recovery for his patients.

I have been on it for 14 years. I have been tapering for over 8 months now and I am down to .25 once day and feel better than I have ever. It is an absolute must to get off this medication and taper correctly and safely and have a plan and stick to it. It is difficult but it is very much possible.
Are you still tapering?
May I ask your taper schedule? And congrats.
I hope you e made it off. I once got down to .5 every other day and was able to cold turkey off that... Ended up back on a year or two later. But, it can be done with an iron Will.
I been on it for almost the same prob like 12 years 16 MG (2x 8mg tabs) for 6 yrs and last 6yrs 2x 8mg strips I have tried several times within that abd injust can't function. Insomnia don't want to work. I have heard good things about sublocade shots tbey are so slow to go dissolve thst its a better taper thst cutting them
@@jessegoodspeed5076That's crazy, my doctor was just telling me about that. Because I can go without it for so long. But then that's why I'm listening to these videos. Because them Suboxins are giving me , Withdrawals when I try to get off of them. But that new abdomen shot, she told me. It also can cause a lump here. For several days, some people go through it. Some don't, so I'm still thinking about that😢
I was on 16mg for 12 years. Today is my 2 year anniversary of kicking this medication to the curb, cold turkey.
That’s gangsta how u do it ?
I did same off24mg
Im almost at day 6 … no subs .. was on it 12 years also … shit is terrible but i cant wait to be free
@@REALDEALMMA91 you will be! Stay active and keep your mind busy. There going to be a little suck in it but you can do it. I’m 1,048 days out of that nightmare.
@@REALDEALMMA91 its doable! Expect a little suck but stay positive. My 3 year is July 4th. It’s a distant memory at this point. Totally worth the battle!
the hardest part for me getting off suboxone was just living life on lifes terms.
Understand completely
I want off this stuff soooo bad. I'm just done. I don't wanna get high and I don't wanna be chained to a prescription drug . Wish I would have went cold turkey. Cuz if you're really done with the dope sceen then that's your best path. 👌 stay safe out there
This guy puts out some of the best layman terms of showing how it's done.
Thank you! If you have other topics you’d like us to cover, please let us know.
the absolute HARDEST thing after I’ve come off which was 7 months ago is the sleep. I have not gotten a good night sleep since I stopped. It’s pretty crazy, but I get about 3-5 hours of completely broken sleep every night. It’s a nightmare.
Thc edibles help.
THC does help
@@USViper yes it does but I can’t smoke for my job. I relapsed for 2 monthes and ended up getting the shot again. Sober 2 monthes now
@RPDthe3rd congratulations that's awesome... I have been clean for about the same time...
So i stopped 2 days ago...tapered from 16 mg july 1 to 4 mg which i took two days ago. I feeel pretty good today. I tried to quit a month ago but was a lil nervous when i got down to a few left so i texted yhe doc to inquire about my options should i get sick. Doctor immediately chastised me and prescribed me another 30 day supply. I moved out of state and my hmo isnt here so i dont know that i have a choice in the matter but i hope i continue to feel better
Look i get this vid is a year ild but can anyone help me? Um kicked iff ssi in the middle if weaning down, was down to a quarter of a pill and ssi said ur better now...can in no way work in the condition im in when on less than a whole pill...i was trying to just live thri the withdrawl but had to go to work....what do i do i am far too sick to work but need off the medication desperately
I don't get why people say its harder to get off of subs than it is opiates and other derivatives. Fact is you never got off the drugs in the first place. You just replaced it with subs. Now imagine if you didnt have anything to get you off of the opiates or heroin. Subs are way easier as it doesn't get you very high. It just gets you high enough to ignore most withdrawals. Going through life without being codependent on any drugs is the real challenge, not Suboxone itself. Its an extremely mild drug so it has very mild withdrawals
Have you taken them for a period of time and got off? I was on them for 12 years, they do get you high and the withdrawal takes a ton of mental toughness. The acute withdrawal is pretty tough but the length of the PAWS is very hard if you don’t figure out how to get you brain to start producing dopamine again. It’s not as hard as people say but we are talking about addicts who talk themselves into throwing in the towel when we get uncomfortable.
Do you have any idea what you’re talking about right now? Or are you just speaking out of your ass? Suboxone is extremely strong. It’s 100 times more potent than morphine! If you give it to somebody that is not used to opiates, it will literally kill them. Suboxone absolutely does get you high. So unless you know what you’re talking about I suggest you don’t speak on this matter. And getting Office a boxing is just as equally bad as getting off pills. It’s the same exact withdrawal symptoms. Exactly the same. And I know what I’m talking about because I’ve been on the shit for 10 years.
You are wrong! Suboxone is an incredibly powerful drug make no mistake about it.
@@Neverasheepthis guys doesn’t know what he’s talking about yes the withdrawls are mild compared to fentanyl but fent withdrawls last like 3 days for me and subs last over a month
Was this a real statement? Most addicts have gone through opioid withdrawal, many times in jail, and had to suffer the withdrawal with out the help of methadone or suboxone. So, we know the difference between doing it that way and becoming dependent on subs.
Thank you so much for being so educated about this. I've been on subutex for 12 years and im trying to taper myself off of it.
You’re welcome. Best wishes!
I’ve been on it for a couple of years and have cut down a lot but when I try stop I get the hot and cold sweats and feel so depressed, it only hits me at night time during the day im completely fine and can go without it no problem. What can I do or is there any way to fix this problem ?
I understand what your saying , same as me . I've tapered down now for 4 months . Take a tiny piece daily. Just can't get off of this .
Oh and get this man a 🎤 🎙
Been on It for 10 years
What is the benefit of taking Suboxone or Oxycodone? It seems that you are just taking one medication for another. I just don’t get it
I know people stuggling to get off Subs, would be good if this was in the UK for them
Been on SABOXYN for 6 years . I was down to 2 mg for a year could not feel better or kick the 2 mg . Felt such an anxiety it felt it was really affecting my mental state . Left family doc who was giving it to me because she did not know how to get me off I’m now at a SABOXYN clinic who suggested to go up to 2 pills a day for little bit and then their going to inject me with 300 mg every 28 days for 2 months then drop me down to 100 every 28 days for 2 months and she said I would be done !!! What are your thoughts on this . I’m very nervous i have such an anxiety already I’m suicidal and want to jump out of my skin . I’ve listened to the thought of vivitrail and may consider that at the end. I’d like to know what your thoughts are on the injection process and tapering
Been on for 13 years only ever went or could remember was being sober for 4 days.. Really I want to go without sub. Still take gabapentin for pain... I just need the info on getting off everything
Hit me up I got 30 days off 13 years
@@erikhall9407 been on for 10 years.. how did you do it?
@@erikhall9407 mind sharing your method?
@@erikhall9407 how
What’s up with this audio man. Did y’all watch the video before you posted it?
Yeahhhhh. I been tryna get off it myself and got down to 2mg then went right back up to 4-6mg cuz of manic episodes. I need a new doc
Me too
Hi Oliver Twisted--We have developed an 8-day outpatient detox specifically to help folks transition from buprenorphine or methadone over to long-acting formulations of naltrexone. We've helped hundreds of people through this process and made a lot of improvements along the way. We use small doses of naltrexone to speed up the withdrawal process without precipitating full withdrawal. We also customize a set of comfort medications to help manage any symptoms that do appear. When we've surveyed our patients, most of them report that their detox using the Coleman Method was easier and more comfortable that other approaches they have tried. Hope that helps!
Check out sublucade. It's a once a month injection of buprenorphine. From what I've heard many people have had success getting off suboxone/any form of buprenorphine with it.
Why if you only take little pieces daily? I’m talking one sub last you 6 7 days
Take the little pcs. Then take smaller. Do it slow. Keep busy. This works.
This is what I’m doing- down to nearly nothing. I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks It’s weird because I will feel absolutely normal and then all of a sudden anxiety hits and I feel a little bit of withdrawal out of the blue. Could be all in my head.
Do you accept insurance
Hi Kimberly-Our offices in Virginia, Massachusetts, and Ohio are in-network with multiple insurance companies, including many Blue Cross Blue Shield commercial plans,and we are working to expand coverage constantly.
Been on suboxone for 4 days and want off due to bad reactions. I hear it is addictive as hell and hard to stop after only 5 days use! Am I at risk for WD so soon? I was on a high 32 mg at first and now on day 4 am on 6mg. Please advise
If you aren't off yet, do it right now!! I was supposed to be on it for a month and here I am, 8 years later. Quit a couple times but went back. Now I'm trying to quit again.
@G K I jumped off from 2mg on day 5 to 1/2 mg day 6 then nothing. I am okay but in severe pain due to injury. Still feel medium WD on day like 12 with nothing but motrin 600 and food. Looking for a new doctor. Bad medicine reactions have stopped. I was experiencing an icy feeling in my chest and loud static in my head, and my skin hurt while on suboxone.
@@Killmaisy Hopefully they can give you something else. Consider the bad reaction to Suboxone a blessing.
@@KillmaisyDid the subs atleast help you get through the cold turkey stage during those few days you were on subs?
I got off and the key was to take it slow and get down to tiny amounts. I went from 24mg to half, half again etc then even slower taking tiny crumbs (pill form) I stayed off a year but I have severe pain and went back and have no regrets. But no, it was not that hard compared to oxy and morphine both of which I went off. Much easier.
Seems like useful info but the microphone frequently cutting out is unfortunate and some of the message is lost
Thanks for the feedback. We will try to reshoot it.
Hi Dodofro-Based on your feedback, we shot and published a new video called “What are the dangers of getting off Suboxone?” on our channel. Thanks again.
Do this stuff rotten your teeth ??
SIR.. YES IT DOES GET ME HIGH!!!
Then stop taking it you shouldn’t be on it to begin with
U take subs and get high? That’s like so alien to me makes no sense why you would even be prescribed them. Take them for a month straight and see what happens, or better yet don’t run for your life in the other direction last chance
@@alexpratt99 agreed
Your microphone is screwed up in this
Thanks for your feedback, LoserDubbed. We just shot and published a new version of the video called “What are the dangers of getting off Suboxone?” on our channel.
It works but not for to long.
Be wise and be safe.
It's safer than street drugs but there is a down side to it.
Yup
Yup that was my issue Suboxone didn’t work no more and wanted me to go up to 24 mg and I said no and in my opinion going from 16 mg to 6 mg is nothing in 5 days and after 5 days each time it gets easier and I’m cutting more tomorrow because of what damage Suboxone has done to my body and Suboxone itself can cause withdrawal symptoms and anxiety and insomnia itself
suboxone gets me extremely high and for many hours...basically all day
those who say it doesn't are liars
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
People aren't lieing when they say they don't get high on it. If someone has little to no tolerance then sure it can get you high. But when someone has been using street drugs and then takes a low does of suboxone for years...They're not getting high at that point. Medications effect people differently.
@@maemccleary3283 exactly sounds like the dose is too high
It absolutely does not get you high lmao if you don’t have a habit you get higher than almost any other opiate, once you have a habit though you’ll feel nothing whatsoever prepare to live in hell
@@willthomsen7569 Say whatever you want, maybe it just works different for everyone. You sitting behind your screen telling me it doesn't get me high is just stupid, like how the hell would you know. It gets me as high as any painkiller ever has, and even makes me nod out, and lasts all day.
I’m ready to be done. Have been for YEARS
You can do it! Today is my 2 year anniversary off this mess! I’d be happy to tell you what worked for me if you’d like.
Yes please!! I’m on day 1 and not feeling well at all!
@@KraftyKris10 July 10th 2021 was my first day off that stuff.
@@KraftyKris10 sorry it looks the TH-cam overlords deleted my comment for some strange reason.
8 days…9 month’s minimum
The sound was fuck up bra gotta make one new vid
Thanks for the feedback, Juan. We just shot and published a new version of the video called “What are the dangers of getting off Suboxone?” on our channel.
The sound on this video is awful
Dude check your mic
Thanks for the feedback, Robert. Yes, we learned our lesson with this one, but still thought it was worth sharing.
Heroin is 10-14 days withdrawal don’t be fooled subs isn’t months it took me22 days cold turkey and it’s bearable after 14 days
different though I'm on 3 subs a day morning afternoon and nite since March 17, 2022 will be year clean off opiates (have not slipped up yet and don't plan on it) I'm in Canada and I have to pay about $70 a week, wish this was covered in Ontario Canada but still much cheaper then my old habits 💯🇨🇦
