After a long history of sustained periods of opiod addiction and after recently being granted bail from prison I was first prescribed 8mg Suboxone scripts by my treating psychiatrist. I was using Buprenorphine intraveneously nearly every day I was incarerated for 6 months.
I had just prior to being arrested been granted a $10,000 release of superannuation that was supposed to be spent on dental treament. This is how I was able to afford using the product off label everyday.
My pschiatrist warned me that I would need to find a GP that would prescribe Buprenorphine ongoing. After reading all the regulations and guidines covering the OTP, I have come to understand that not all that many GP's are willing to become involved despite their legal ability to do so.
Perhaps thay fail to realize that someone suffering from a substance misuse disorder do not know when it is time to stop and when opiods are nvolded this will nearly always result in overdose and premature death.
This program should be viewed as a harm minimisation strategy and should not involve a debate on the morality of the heavily stigmatised behaviour.
I understand that while I meet nearly all 12 criteria signs for opiod dependance at the current time,
a part of the assessment and review processs and based ony my own presentation of substance abuse history, there is a substantial amount of evidence that crystal methamphetamine has been the main cause of my legal issues and and admission into treatment centers and hospital admissions.
The fact still remains that I have developed a number of underlying mental health conditions inclduing depression, anxiety and a sense of hoplessness.
While I remain socially isolated and living under my current circumstances I willl continue to resort to escaping my reality through self medication of illicit substances.
Opiods will always be my drug of choice because it has become more easlily accessible,
I particpate in sleep and low key activities and do not endless nights awake engaged in meaningless drug induced psychosis.
I have spend 10 years desperately trying to be prescribed a stimulant type medication as I belived this was my silver bullet. It is time for a new option.
Based on my experience over the last year of enagaging in off label buprenorphine use while in prison, I strongly believed that if I am an not stuck in a constant cycle of chasing the next hit just to feel normal and not suicidal for an extended period of time, I could rebuild my life by engaging in study, participating a long terms therapeutic rehabilitation program and relearn basic life skills.
I have only been using prescirbed opiods for 6 weeks now and already the improvements in my life circumstances and outlook for the future is overwhelmingly positive.
I have also conducted a lot of academic research into the potential for OAT to help treat major depressive disorder and other underlying mentl health issues.
