Publisher's summary

A heroin addict – we'll borrow NPR's nomenclature and call him "John" – needs help. Maybe he can't afford the price of a hit. Maybe he's unable to work because he's focused on getting high instead of getting paid.

Nice blurb to start the process I guess

As a woman in long term recovery from a 14 year drug addiction, I can say that buprenorphine, better known as Suboxone, is addictive. If you take buprenorphine on a daily basis as part of your recovery pathway or for whatever reason and the stop taking it without a taper you will experience withdrawal. Just like you will from opioids.
