In the state of Florida, you cannot obtain medication (Suboxone only because it blocks out other opiates even if consumed) that exists in detoxing people from opiate drug addiction, even through Medicaid. This leaves drug addicts on the streets to maintain their use, as the psychiatrist extort this service and take only cash or high-end health coverage in FL.
Why is this important?
I am disabled and after having years of sobriety, I was crippled in a car accident and am personally affected by this disease. Being disabled leaves me in a financial struggle to survive to obtain my treatment and be able to pay rent to have housing, leaving my life on the line every day. Suboxone also aids in pain relief, thus why I am a long-term patient. My best friend, whom I considered my brother, died at the age of 30 to this atrocity of Opiates, "the war on drugs", and our punishment style police state we live in! Addiction is not biased and ADDICTS ARE BEING LEFT TO DIE. Make Suboxone available to all opiate addicts! It does not get you "high" and is highly, highly effective in alleviating withdrawal symptoms, can be monitored and tapered down to become sober safely and to do so effectively.
