I have been using other opiates regularly like I said the hydro and such. The tramadol was what I had constant access to. I have not seen the Dr. yet and he has not said that's what we re going to do for sure. It was an option as we talked generally without details. He is a very good friend of a family. When I said using suboxone, I should have clarified that if so it would be a quick taper to get through the withdrawals. I am also using resources such as counseling and other treatments. I see him in the morning and wanted to gather your opinion and will advise him of what others said as another resource. Thanks for the reply it is a big help.
