The Solution
I want to talk to you about how to get off painkillers and the solution I found that helped me to get off of them, but I am also going to tell you some things you need to know that websites DON’T tell you, such as how to get it and how to find a doctor who is allowed to use it. That’s right, not all doctors are certified to handle this medication, but I will tell you all about that down below.
The Solution I found to getting off of Painkillers without the painful and disabling withdrawal is a medication called Buprenorphine, Buprenorphine has several brand names such as Suboxone® and Subotex®, but Buprenorphine is the main name.This medication has at times been called “a Miracle Drug” because it makes it so easy to get off of opiates. It is being used with great effect for opiate/painkiller addiction treatment, and making follow up treatment even more successful. With the use of buprenorphine recovery rates are up and occurance of relaspe is down.
Outpatient Buprenorphine treatment is also a very cost effective treatment especially for those without insurance. Consider this, for treatment in a facility in California for one person with an opiate dependence, it can cost anywhere from $10,000 up to $40,000. Whereas if a person were to go with outpatient Buprenorphine treatment it would cost approximately $200 for one months worth of buprenorphine, and about$200 for outpatient after care treatment. One could go even more cost effective by joining a 12 step program instead of an outpatient counseling program.
This is a great and can be an affordable way for someone to get the treatment they need, especially if they need to be able to continue working while going thru detox and have a day to day life they just can’t skip out on for a few weeks to get clean. Read below regarding pricing, as it varies from doctor to doctor.
The perfect Solution for me was buprenorphine , and it worked very well for my need to get off of my pain pill addiction, and allow me to continue with day to day business.
Here’s a list of some of my experiences:
- It stopped the withdrawal pain in my muscles and joints within 30-60 minutes of taking it.
- I didn’t have any anxiety from withdrawal within 30-60 minutes of taking it.
- I didn’t have any depression from the withdrawal within 30-60 minutes of taking it.
- My mood and emotional state did a complete 180-degree turn after taking it. I was happy. I felt great. I felt like it had given me my life back just as my doctor said it would. Seriously. I had not felt this good in several years. In fact, I hadn’t felt that good since BEFORE I ever started taking Vicodin.
- The anxiety of leaving the house and going to work disappeared, almost instantly, so that I could go back to work and be productive. In fact, I have been so productive since being off the Vicodin and being on the buprenorphine that I am able to work almost 7 days a week.
- The whole experience was as if I had never been addicted to pain pills at all, and the clock was turned back to a time before I started taking it.
My overall experience was very good and I recommend it to all who seek to get off of pain pills.
The part they don’t tell you…
There are a few things you need to know in order to get this medication, and it isn’t the easiest thing to get because of rules and regulations. I will be going over ALL of this in a moment. I am also going to tell you how to go about finding a doctor, who has room in his program, and about finding one who isn’t going to charge an arm and a leg for treatment. So there are several things you need to watch for and I am going to go into them here.
Knowing what the medication is, is a good start, but you need to know a few other things about getting a doctor and being put on it. You can’t just get it from any doctor, not all doctors know about this medication and not all doctors will use this medication even if they know about it.
Doctors you can get buprenorphine treatment from have to have a special certification to be able to use it for opiate abuse treatment. Specifically only physicians with a special “X” number issued by the DEA(Drug Enforcement Agency) may prescribe it for opioid addiction treatment. The trick is finding one of these doctors.
Next, thedoctors certified to use this treament are LIMITED to treating only 30 patients at any one time with this medication, due to the DEA regulations. So even if you find a doctor near you, you have to find out if they have room in their treatment program to allow you in. Many of these private practices that use outpatient buprenorphine treatment are full with people for this type of treatment. This treatment can last several months to several years per person, so getting on a waiting list can be a bummer. Want to know how to bypass this? Read on.
While above I quoted approximately $200 for medication and $200 per month for in office outpatient treatment, that was an average for a area in California. I paid quite a bit less than that for my treatment in San Diego, in fact I paid $50 for induction, $35 copay for medication each month, and a $150 package for 3 treatment sessions, with the treatment sessions being once a month. I was also in a 12 step group and still am today. I did my research and hunted around and found a great doctor that didn’t want my first born son for this treatment. You shouldn’t have to pay absorbitant rates to get off of the pain killers, and I feel anyone addicted should be able to get the help they need and deserve for a relatively fair price.
Finding an affordable doctor or treatment program can be a hard part because most professionals in private practice are for-profit businesses. America’s free enterprise system allows these professionals to charge what they feel is fair or what they feel the treatment is worth and it is up to the individual physicians to accept or not accept private insurance. So some of these doctors will charge an arm and a leg for this treatment, because they can and they know people are DESPERATE to get off opiates, and people will pay to get off of them too! I needed the help, I paid for it, it worked and I am happy that I found this solution and I was even happier to be able to afford it.
Private practice doctors can charge anywhere from $75 for initial visit(Induction) up to $2,500 for initial visits with monthly follow ups costing anywhere from $60 to $600 per month. Now its starting to get a little expensive right? Unfortunatly, this is how private practice works sometimes.
I have put together a document called “The Pain Report: How to get off of Painkillers”. It is a compilation of resources I put together to help you find doctors near you do who use buprenorphine treatment that you can afford. I sell this report for only $14.97 and will help you save time, money and frustration when trying to find a doctor to help you get off the painkillers.
For $14.97 you will get…

- Super Easy Step by Step instructions so you can do this today and be off the drug as soon as tomorrow, or you can do it when YOU are ready. It’s up to you.

- I give you the resources to find treatment facilities that use buprenorphine.

What you will not get:

- A bunch of BS.
Pain killer withdrawal is excruciatingly painful and severe, learn how to avoid that by getting my report.
For your safety, I am a Paypal verified seller. I have conducted hundreds of sales though Paypal-(can be verified through Paypal), and I will not have access to your credit card information.
Upon successful completion of a payment you will have IMMEDIATE access to the report for download, and you will also receive a confirmation email with another download link for downloading at a later time if you need.
I look forward to helping you and hearing your success story from the ravages of painkiller addiction.

Let me ask you this: You can go research the internet and try to find all the stuff in my report. You can spend hours or days trying to find it all, and still not find it, and you would spend hundreds of dollars more on treatment, or would you rather save that money by spending only $14.97 ? If you would rather save the hundreds of dollars then just buy the report. It’s only $14.97 and comes with a money back guarantee. You can’t lose.

I just wanted to say thanks for putting this out for people to buy. I was searching the internet for ways to get clean and stop the pain I was feeling from detoxing and your report gave me the strength and courage to call a doctor and get help. Thanks to the resources you list in the report I was able to find people who were happy to help me and not treat me like a druggie. It made me feel safe. Thank you very much!

Larry,
My son starting taking Percocet/Oxycondone approximately four yrs ago for chonic headaches and neck pain. Since we have tried numerous doctors, chiropractors, acupuncture, physical therapy, had his wisdom teeth removed, cortisone shots, and even alternative medicine. We did this and a lot more trying to help my son gain back part of his life. My son does know that he has a problem with the pills, but is also very afraid of the pain he will be in without them. It is very hard to watch him suffer even though I know that he now takes way too much.(buys them on the street after his presciption runs out) Besides that he takes hand fulls of Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Part of this is due to the fact that the pain pills have killed his natural pain defense. (I believe) Any ideas? How would the Buprenorphine work for him? We have nearly given up hope.

Sandy, I have been there, and wrecked that. my back was the cause for me getting put on pain killers, then I became addicted to them. What I would suggest is the guide that I sell, it can help you and him immensely. The new drug they use to help people get off of painkillers is buprenorphine, and it is available only through certain doctors, which I go into finding, in the report I sell. As for the pain, he will also go through much more pain when he goes through withdrawal, unless he gets put on the buprenorphine which will take all that withdrawal away. The buprenorphine will help his attitude and demeanor, and get him off the pian killers very quickly. then the issue is to get him treatment for his pain, without the pain killers. That is only masking the symptoms, need to treat the source of the pain. tried chiropractics?

I have been taking 10 mg hydrocodone with about 10 to12 sometimes for about 6-12. Due to knee surgery and chronic migraines. Last one i took was on sun. So today is fij. All i can do is sleep. I am costantly cold. Been taking sleeping pills so i can sleep at nightXanax I know i cant afford the burmorphine. Any suggesting that might ease the withdrawal systems. I am always sluggish and when i walk i am off balance. Almost to the point of vertigo. It seems i am always out of breath. Just needing some info.

HI Natalie, You CAN Afford the Buprenorphine if you knew where to get the coupons from. It’s all in the Pain Killer report. If you get the report you could save yourself lots of frustration, get help for the withdrawal, and get free drug coupons. It’s worth the $9.97 to get the help you could use for what you are going through right now. Trust me I’ve been there wrecked that!!!

This must all be a joke to you..
We need help finding less expensive ways.. any your selling your own product trying to make money just like the doctors you just spoke about.
I mean you couldnt even answer the ladies question about her beloved son without trying to sell your damn product..
I cant believe how big of a conspiracy this was
Larry C. Said,
October 7, 2009 @ 2:54 pm
Hi Amanda, I did in fact answer her question, in an email as well. There is no conspiracy here. I have documented all the ways to get discounts on the medication in my report. The report is only $9.97 and has coupons in there that will save you Hundreds of Dollars.
Yes I am Selling my information, why? because it took me days, no it took me weeks to gather this information, which I used myself to detox from Painkillers and successfully get off of and stay off. And it is worth it’s weight in GOLD.
I took all that information and compiled it into a report for people to use and with all the coupons and many other facts in it, that will save people hundreds if not thousands of dollars. It is well worth the $9.97 for the report.
It is a value that people have emailed me to thank me for time and again.
It’s OK if you think it’s a conspiracy, the people that have it know it’s for real and have gotten their $9.97 back with the purchase of their first discounted prescription, and their savings on the doctors from knowing what questions to ask.
Have a better day.

I agree with amanda..its sad to see that someone would exploit people and take advatage of them bc of their desperate need for help..if you truly wanted to help people you could just post all of ur info on this site for free…or maybe even just a dollar or two just to cover the cost of hosting ur site
Larry C. Said,
May 11, 2010 @ 9:28 am
Hi Roxi, actually the little amount of money for the report that I: 1) researched, 2) put time into to put together, 3) host on my own website, barely covers the cost of hosting. I don’t feel like I am exploiting anyone, in fact I feel I am helping people, I receive thank you emails from people who have bought the report. They thank me for the help I have given them, and the help for getting off of painkillers.
I wished there were something like this out there for me when I was kicking and wanting to get through it. The fact is there wasn’t. which is why I put this together for people like myself, who want to get off pain killers.
The report gives much information on how to receive the help they need, without feeling embarrassed, or put down. to find the doctors certified for the help they need and the medication they need to get off the painkillers without pain. To find programs to help with costs of the medication and therapy. There are also links to free drug cards in the report, to get the medication at a very low discounted rate. It also tells what questions to ask the doctors so there are no unforeseen hidden costs, which can amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars in costs.
For the cost of the report, at this moment $14.97, they save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, from the insider info I give in the report. That alone is help, not exploitation.
I’m sorry you feel the way you do, maybe you can find the help you need somewhere else and feel ok paying much more than you need too.
Have a great day!

I have detoxed, from morphine and fentanyl, been clean for almost 2 weeks. I still feel some withdraw symptoms. Ive been to many treatment centers before and all of them have recommended suboxone. So I thought I should give it a try. I go to school full time and some days it is almost impossible to get out of bed, fighting the urge to use again, feeling like nothing will end this. My life is consumed by the anxiety and urge to use. If I call a doctor on the suboxone site will they turn me down because I have already detoxed and am close to the end of the physical withdraws? What should I tell them when I call their office? Please help, thank you.
Larry C. Said,
September 29, 2010 @ 4:34 pm
I would tell them exactly what you just told me. I was already one week into detox when I was put on Suboxone, and it turned my life around, no more anxiety and urge to use, depression went away, it was a life saver. Call a doctor on the suboxone line, and if they turn you down, call another one, until you get one that says yes, but I doubt seriously that you will get a denial, they are all there to help you.
I highly suggest getting my report, to ask all the right questions and get the coupons if you don’t have insurance. it will save you tons of money.
Keep me posted.

I have been using for about 2 years. I went in to get help, and was in the hospital for 5 days(on suboxone) now that i am home i have stopped the suboxone and i feel like crap. how long am i going to feel like this. its not as bad as week one. but its still bad enought for me to sit and ask whhyyy me. i feel like crap.. how much longer? i want to see the light at the end of the tunnel.i want to get through this :/
Larry C. Said,
January 23, 2011 @ 8:53 am
There is light at the end of the tunnel and it isn’t a train. This means you have the worst part over with and you don’t have to do it again. Suboxone is different for everyone. some people come off it quickly, some people it takes a week or two, sometimes three because of the half life. Just stick it out and you will never have to do this again. unless you want to.

Larry C. Said,
January 31, 2011 @ 10:55 am
You would not be doctor shopping like looking for more meds. you will be looking for a doctor to help you. which is ok. just be honest with them, you want to get off, you would like suboxone therapy, and need to find someone who can help you.
I also suggest my ebook, so you can be prepared when you go in there, what to look for, the answers and questions to ask.
It;’s only 14$ and will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on your meds and treatment.
Good luck.

Listen people, The guy is trying to help by offering a service, If he was truly addicted to pain killers and kicked the habit and is honestly trying to help and not just profit off people’s disease’s…
and own ”self pleasing” addiction’s that ruin live’s, then he is good…..
I myself having dealt with addiction in the past have thought of putting my years of knowledge to use and helping other’s deal with addiction. i have beat my demon’s full on many time’s as i have a addictive personality!
suboxone can help some people, as can methadone, but its a temporary cover, that masks your problem, if you want to quit using then you can with my free guide to stop using drugs…..it’s called quitting, think about life before you used drugs, you were happier ya? you can and will quit drugs if you want too….you have the power to say yes or no….we were not designed to be addicted to anything except love, happiness, and joy, you can quit as i have, after 6 years of daily opiate usage
i feel anything is possible! i dont feel trapped within myself, or depressed, or regret for my past because i now understand addiction after dealing with it…..best of all my advice is free, and it’s all written in this post, how long do you want to be trapped within the walls of your own addiction? the key is you, you are worth it to be true to yourself….i honestly feel more uplifted and energetic then when i was popping 6-100mg’s of pure morphine daily not some weak ass vicodin’s…and i walked away with my life and a better understanding of life, and best of all i can feel emotion again……..people you are worth your best, be true to yourself and fight through your demon’s….everyone from the dealers to the doctors just want to keep you down and weak….they dont know shit!! you can do whatever it is you want to really do…..so if you want to stop and be free you will……….the human mind is a very powerful tool, if you use it as designed, be free and be well…….

If you get the eBook you can find a doctor that will help you and it tells you all the important questions to ask, so there are no hidden charges if you want to go the suboxone route. or you can go cold turkey and do the herbal route which works better for some than others. Either way, you going to go through some discomfort with withdrawal. but it can be done and it won’t kill you…

Hello,
I am so happy I came across this site. I am in a BAD way right now and if I don’t address my addition to painkillers right now, I could lose everything I hold dear to me, including my life.
I want to know if this is real, if this offer still stands, and if the information is updated because I need help NOW!!!! How quickly cqn I get in to see a Dr. and begin treatment-can it happen the same day?? I don’t have time to waste and can’t afford to get an appointment weeks, or even days from now.
Thank you,
Phil
Larry C. Said,
June 9, 2011 @ 8:39 pm
What Offers do you speak of?
Is this real? how real is your addiction? Does it hurt when you run out and crave more? do you do just about anything to get more when you get low or run out? Do you worry when you get low and wonder where your next fix is coming from? Do you never leave home without it? Does it consume your every waking thought?
If so, then yes, it’s real.
You could probably get a doctors appointment tomorrow. I got mine in less than a day, saw the doctor the same day as I called him.
It’s all there, and the Free Drug Discount cards are still there too.
Small price to pay to have all the info compiled in one place, ready for you to act.
Your call…

Hello Larry,
Thank you very much for your reply.
By “offer” I mean the sale of the information you advertised. Everything you said OS true, and I can no longer live my life this way. I am desperate to get better and get control of my life. I am not close to being the same person ever since I became addicted to painkillers following a herniated disc (which was beyond painful).
Okay, I am going to trust you and order the information. I am hurting and I need to return to my life-my life without painkillers. I’m assuming your information is delivery online, yes? If that’s the case,, how would I ne able to use the discount drug cards?
Thank you very much,

larry:
I want to preface this comment by saying I have benefitted from the time and energy it took you to put this together just TODAY. I used your Thomas recipe alternative list and sent a friend to the local health food store for me. (BTW, the Melissa Supreme rocks!!) the only two items I kept from Thomas was the L-Tyrosine and clonidine for cold sweats and tachychardia. (outpatient sub doctor prescribed and only taken after I check my blood pressure) AND I have not purchased and read your manual, so you may very well cover this; BUT I think it is extremely important to note that sub is an OPIATE. PERIOD. Yes, it can be helpful for long-term recovery care or whatever the drug rehabilitaion world is calling “extended suboxone use” these days- but you will in fact have to withdraw from it-and it may very well be worse than any detox from a short-acting opiate such as percocet or vicodin, due to it’s complex half-life. Perhaps this should have been included in my preface, since it very well is affecting me today, in fact it is my whole world today, I’m on day 3/almost 4 of suboxone withdrawal. This is my third try. I’ve been on for 2 years-started at 8 mg of suboxone-HATED it-turned me into a zombie,and I got very, very nasty headaches. I was later switched to 2 mg of subutex (the bupe w/out the naloxene) and it was then that I fell in love. The doctor thought perhaps 8 was too high a dose or I was allergic to the naloxene. BUT, he was content w/keeping me “at my low dose” for as long as I wanted. (I got addicted after being prescribed for genuine pain) By the Grace of God, somewhere along my journey I started attending a 12-step-program. For those people low on funds-these meetings are damn near free and they have saved my life!!!!!! I didn’t think I would fit in; my addict brain told me, “you don’t belong there, your not like those people-you started taking those pills from a legitimate prescription.” PLEASE, if anyone reading this takes away one thing- we can’t do this alone and we don’t have too. I tried kicking 8 times on my own or with help from “friends” it don’t work. The people that I have met in these meeting rooms-have come to my house with Gatorade, have dragged me out of my house and driven me to a meeting, have gone to the store for me and have offered countless shoulders to lean on. Yes, some of my closest program friends have stories similar to mine and are around my same age, but the really, special friendships are w/ the people that I would have never met in a million years if it wasn’t for the bond we share-we were all addicts!! The power of seeing people nod their heads when u share about digging thru trash w/a flashlight because maybe a pill bottle still had residue-is priceless. SO, long story short- if ur real concern is the pain of withdrawal-do it now or do it later-but it it a necessary evil. I no longer wish to change my past actions (oh, the gift of serenity) but I would tell anyone thinking of trying sub that you are switching one opiate for another and it’s eventual withdrawal will suck just as well too. And PLEASE-if you are near the end of the physical w/d- don’t turn to Sub, in my opinion it is counter-productive. You will have lingering “mental, ie:derision, anxiety” withdrawal symptoms, but that’s where a support group, excercise, the suggestions on this site for vitamin and mineral supplements come into play. Larry: I think this site is great and helpful, I see no issue with you selling the info you put together. I hope you don’t take any offense. And I realize that I in fact used subutex for a year, liked it alot, and was able to work a program and build my support system and learn about addiction and recovery while gaining strength to quit the opiates for good. In that vein, sub has saved my life. But I wanted to make it very clear to those that are looking for a way out from the pain of withdrawal- that their isn’t one. Sub is an opiate, you will only prolong the inevitable. Use responsibly
I wish you all the very best of luck!! We all can handle anything for a week right?! (that’s been my mantra for the week!!)
God Bless and may you all be happy, joyous and free from addiction.

take offense? hahahaha, hardly. I was one sub for the first nine months of my re-entry into NA. I needed it to help me get my head back. It really saved my life, the subs and NA. but the subs helped me get to place where I didn’t “need” the other opiates. When I did get off tho, it was a muther fucker of a withdrawal, 30 days straight. Half life is a bitch. I didn’t have any craving though for an opiate when I was coming off it and have never had a craving since. for that I am grateful. For that it was worth the 30 days. I blew 13 years when I did my first detox from opiates, being an ex tweeker I didn’t know what I was in for when I started detoxing and drank my way through it, only to go back on the opiates a few months later. My second time trying to get off them was harder still but I went the sub route and it really helped me get my head in a place that I could get to a place where I was ready to get off.
Awesome comment, thank you so much …

Keep Coming back…It works…

i have been on heroin ( inject about 10-15 bags a day) and oxy 80′s ( about 8 a day) for the past 13 years– I have been on methadone for 8 years but always supplemented it with heroin and Xanax– I have been on suboxone for 2 years but couldn’t do the withdrawal and I went to rapid detox $15000 later just to relapse– I just went cold turkey off heroin and have now been without it for about 3 weeks— I am through with the physical withdrawal but now I have no energy, feel mentally worthless and dont know if I can even work– I understand it takes awhile for endorphins to come back but how do u jumpstart endorphins if u r too tired to excercise. My other problem is I started drinking to deal with all this and I am soooo scared I can never be happy drug and alcohol free. I have tried almost every rehab program known in the past but I still think of heroin every day– what do I do?? Please help!!!!

Hi Carolyn, thanks for sharing your story. If you haven’t already checked it out, I would say go check out Narcotic Anonymous and get around a group of people who can properly support you through all this. It is imperative. I would them maybe go see a psychiatrist and see what he thinks about an antidepressant like wellbutrin. but that’s all.
You’re going through PAWS, post acute withdrawal syndrome, and judging from your 13 years of using, you’re going to be going through a while of it. I know the feeling of no energy, not even to exercise, but start small, baby steps. just walk around the block. Then try twice around the block. then try a little more until you are doing more and you will feel so much better than just sitting around doing nothing. I guarantee it. Please keep checking back and give us a progress report. ok? It will get better…

I hope it gets better but I have to deal with this cuz going back to drugs cannot happen– thanks Larry– I will check in every week or so to update! Do u have another antidepressant suggestion other than wellbutrin– I used to take that and lexapro and paxil and effexor and seraquel but none really worked– or maybe it was the drug use that made them not work??

I would talk to the psych about antidepressants. I’m not a doc but wellbutrin worked for me.

Hey does anyone know if naltrexone helps with endorphins. I have a script from when I went to rapid detox. I am going to find a na meeting to start attending to get further support but right now I just have no motivation and no energy and just want to find a way to feel better without using!!!!!

My daughter is addicted to opiates and now is shooting up herion. How can I get her off of all of it? She is 22 years old and a mother of two small boys. She has no insurance of any kind and can’t afford to pay big money to help her get straight again. She is worring my husband and I to death and we are raising her children. Please recommend someone for her or a place she can go to that is free. Thank you for your help. Sherry Jenkins

Larry I find all this very inspirational, and am happy to see I am not alone with trying to seek help. I was taking about 80-100mgs of oxycodone per day. I have been off for well over 3 months yet every day I feel the lack of energy and strength. I’m positive the detoxification has occurred but I still feel the symptoms identical to those that starting only after I stopped taking the pills. Needless to say with such a prolonged period of everlasting diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, headaches I was released from my employer. Now I’m jobless for what I felt was best for myself, and all I can think about is to use again and feel and I hate to say it like thus but “normal”. I am 23 years old, I feel like I’m 90. I really don’t know what to do. I really hope you have a suggestion, I have no one to talk to and no funds to seek medical attention for my problem. Thanks for your time.

Hey Larry, just finished reading all 47 comments. I’m like everyone else here of course, and just as worried about how to stay off after the worst WD’s fade in a few days. I’ve cleaned up for no more than 2 weeks about 4-5 times in the last 2 years, but seem to find myself back on it again after the hardest part is done.
Just thought I should say I’m impressed you’ve taken the time to respond to almost every comment with courtesy, including the few who questioned the moral issues of selling information. We’ve all got eat and you obviously want to help.
Peace

Thanks Michael, you should read the comments over here:

My problem was the same as yours, after a week or two I was back at it. I found that the lack of endorphins/depression kept me going back over and over again. That was when I tried the suboxone and it helped out immensely for the withdrawals and the depression. I think that’s one of the things that keep people going back over and over again is the depression and lack of endorphins. If you work out things will get better. Even if it’s just a walk everyday, a fast one where you work up a sweat. You’ll start to feel better towards the end of the walk and they in turn start to become addictive but in a good way.
