My son is detoxing from opioids and meth

[Thunderbeast]

Has been in our home for three days. We have Suboxone, and hope he will take the first dose this evening. After many false starts at this, if he takes the meds, we hope that the cravings will subside.

Looking for guidance about expectations here. He has been to medical detox twice but left after a couple of days. He refuses to trythat route again (for now). We wish he would go through this with medical resources, but he says it is too confining. He has regular outpatient counselling and a team of clinical and medical professionals. He makes itto about half of his scheduled appointments and groups. He is not interested in the accountability of 12 step programs.

He has been asleep for nearly the whole time he has been here. Has anyone on this forum been through this themselves or with a loved one? Will Suboxone help him avoid street drugs?

Thanks
