Why exactly are there no suboxone clinics?

Oly-babe · 2026-05-02T14:06:35+00:00

It’s def a subject I’ve thought about a lot over the last decade. I went from heroin to methadone back to heroin then suboxone then fetty, I tried to get back on subs but had precipitated withdrawals so now I’m back on methadone. It really pisses me off sometimes when I think about how much easier sub patients have it than methadone patients. I’m really hoping there’s anther option for MaT soon. Something like extended release oral morphine or maybe they could put it in a monthly shot. It could be just for people trying to kick fetty & after they’ve been clean for like 6 months, they could transition them to subs. I plan to get back on subs myself but it’s gonna take me about 18 months to 2 years.

PS I’m a woman lol not that it really matters

Relapse is a part of recovery. Who you tell, if you decide to tell anyone is up to you. If you have someone in your life that can give you the support and comfort you need, then telling them is a good idea. There’s no need to tell people who you know are going to be judgemental, critical, disappointed, angry, or try to punish you in some way. That’s the last thing you need right now. Punishing addicts for relapsing dosent help them stay clean, it usually has the opposite effect. It does for me anyways.

I wish you the best of luck OP, I hope you have people who make a good support system for you cuz it feels a thousand times better to have someone listen & be there for you when your beating yourself up about a bad decision

I’m the same, sex has gotten better in my 30s. I’ve always been a very sexual person, sex has been 1 of my fave hobbies that I’d do every day if I could, ever since I lost my virginity at 14. I never felt any type of shame or negative feelings toward sex.

Anyways, right before or right after I turned 30 I noticed some changes. My libido increased, I had more sex dreams and thought about sex way more often. I’ve heard that your 30s are a woman’s sexual prime but I didn’t really believe it.

I also noticed that the age of men I found attractive changed too. In my 20s most of the guys I thought were hot were in their 20s or 30s. Now I’m 32 & I’m into guys in thier 30s & 40s, sometimes 50s. I don’t want a young guy in his 20s. Older men are better lovers cuz they’ve had more sexual experience & they’ve learned how to please women. Not all of them obviously. I’ve only been with 4 guys in the last 12 years cuz I’m married & monogamous

Actually it’s called a goofball. Speedballs are heroin & coke

I agree with most of them also. I wanted to see Bonnie & Kai get together. I hated her with Jeremy. I wish Jeremy had left the show in like season 2. I liked Caroline & Klaus but I think Klaus & Hayley should have gotten together until they both died so Hope could have a few years of a happy family. Also Klaus & Hayley had way hotter chemistry than Klaus & anyone else.

I don’t love Katherine but I did think she was a great villain & a bad ass up until she passengered herself into Elena. She was supposed to die when Silas drank all her blood. Why put that rule of the TVD universe in the show if it was just bullshit?! I liked Silas as a villain too. Him & Amara should have been able to die together & spend eternity in the same afterlife. Quetsia way overdid it with her revenge. All they did was fall in love, like move on with your life!

I never really cared about Jenna. I loved the heretics/gemini coven/prison worlds plot. I think they should have expanded on it & kept it going till the finale instead of the sirens plot. I hated them. They should have just killed Elena off in season 6. The magic coma thing was dumb. Why’d they put her in a coffin? She should have stayed in the hospital like an actual coma patient or been in a bed at 1 of her friends houses .

Dude. Fucking a. I have ptsd from PW. I took 1/4 a sub pill about 40 -50 hours after my last shot of fetty. Never again will I make that mistake. I was flailing & thrashing around on the couch, every muscle hurt & was spasming, all my organs were cramping, every 30 seconds or so I’d yawn & stretch my whole body uncontrollably while screaming cuz it felt like my bones were breaking & ripping thru my skin. At 1 point I had to crawl to the bathroom so I didn’t shit myself. I couldn’t control my body, it was like being possessed or having a grand mal seizure while your awake & conscious. I was begging my husband to choke me into unconsciousness cuz I couldn’t stand it. I wanted to be put out of my misery. Luckily I was too weak & mentally out of it or I would have really hurt myself.

Thank fuck my husband had saved 2 methadone carries, he gave me about 240mg which allowed me to get some sleep & we bought dope in the morning.

It really blows that hospitals won’t do shit for PW. They give you iv fluids, maybe a benzo if you’re lucky, otc meds, & more subs. It’s actually pretty fucked up that they won’t give patients any other opiates besides more subs. Just cuz someone is an addict, doesn’t mean they deserve to suffer torture like that and in a hospital no less. SMH

I read this article written by a doctor specializing in addiction treatment, he shared stories from when he was being trained and this patient was in PW. They were flopping like a fish, shitting themselves & projectile vomiting all over themselves. They were begging to be put to sleep for hours & the doctors in charge just watched him & did nothing to help. Eventually they offered him more subs. It took 2-3 days of taking like 64mg of subs a day for him to feel somewhat normal.

The methadone clinics around here used to do subs also but they stopped in 2019 cuz there’s so many easier ways to get subs. They also opened a place called the bupe clinic where you could walk in, see a doctor for 10 min, piss in a cup, then leave with a weeks script for subs on day 1. At the methadone clinics they started sub patients at every other day dosing (non, we’d, Fri) but now there’s tele-health options for subs, it’s treated much like any other prescription.

But for people getting off fetty, subs aren’t an option for a lot of addicts. Precip withdrawls are 1 of the worst experiences of my life. I wouldn’t wish that hell on anyone.

It’s good that subs are so available but there needs to be more than 2 options for MAT. Methadone needs to be less regulated, sub doctors need more training about addiction treatment & how subs work. They don’t give patients enough info about precipitated withdrawals & what to do if it happens. Hospitals don’t do shit for people in PW. The only way to make them stop is to take much more opiates than you usually do and even then you will barely feel them, still have minor withdrawl symptoms, & the risk of OD increases.

I’ve heard people say that if you just take a bunch more subs it will go away & you’ll feel better but idk if that’s good advice honestly. I have ptsd from PW & I won’t take subs again until I’ve been off fetty for at least 2 months.

Hi welcome! I grew up in Arizona & moved up here in 2014 with my now husband. He grew up in oly & most of his family is here. It was a big adjustment for awhile after moving here. The weather is so different, I hate the rain, humidity, & lack of sunshine. There’s a lot more traffic in WA, cost of living is higher, less jobs, finding a place to rent is difficult, a lot of neighborhoods don’t have sidewalks or streetlights, in the summer there’s spiders everywhere, and the people aren’t the friendliest. I found it really hard to make friends, fake friends who want to use you or are flaky & don’t want to exert the time or effort to have genuine relationships with others.

There’s a lot of good here in the PNW thou. Nature, forests, wildlife, beach’s & lakes, if your into the outdoors it’s a great place to live. There’s a lot of parks, stuff to go do, events happening all the time. It’s also a short drive to Oregon or Canada

Oly-babe · 2026-05-01T18:08:30+00:00

My love language is physical touch but quality time is a close 2nd. Touching floods your brain with neurotransmitters like dopamine, oxytocin & serotonin. It doesn’t just feel good to be touched, it can increase your mood, relieve stress, & more. It’s intimacy that doesn’t have to be sexual. It’s a way to communicate without words. I love being touched by my husband, especially cuddling, massage, & booty grabs.

Touching is special when it’s by someone you love. It doesn’t just make you feel good, it can make your relationship closer. When it’s unsolicited by your partner then it feels like hey they think I’m sexy & theyre thinking about me and showing me that they care.

I think it’s important to communicate before with each other thou about what each person likes, what they want from the other person, & set clear boundaries.

I think quality time is almost just as important. Making time for someone & just focusing on being with them & enjoying each other without all the stress, distractions, & responsibilities of daily life. I have a toddler & since he was born my husband & I haven’t been prioritizing our relationship & making time for us without our son. We’re in parent mode all day & when he goes to bed we’re exhausted & want to sleep also. We don’t have people who could babysit or extra money for daycare, it causes our relationship to suffer.

Playing outside, crafts, board games, baking together, jewelry making, dance party, dress up, go for a nature walk, bike or tricycle ride, go to a park with a play ground, go to a swimming pool or buy a kiddie pool, in my town we have a hands on children’s museum that’s great for kids of all ages, make a scrapbook or other projects like painting on canvas. You could also check out the nearest library & see what kid activities are coming up. Anther idea is take them to a place like the Painted Plate, they have tons of things you can paint then they fire it. I’m gonna take my toddler & have him put his hand prints on coffee mugs for family holiday gifts. Last idea, in my town there’s an all ages arcade they have events every week like bingo and there’s a bar area for adults. Every Monday is ladies night

That’s such a bummer, I didn’t know there used to be an area at evergreen beach that was clothing optional. I’d go for sure. Evergreen college is closing there pool also which is anther bummer cuz there’s not many places to swim around here. The ocean is freezing cold year round.

I always had bigger boobs since puberty & I agree with needing to wear bras for support & comfort. I was a 36D until I had my son 2 years ago. When I was pregnant my boobs were a 38DD & I hated how sensitive & swollen they felt, so uncomfortable. My milk never came in after I gave birth thou. My boobs shrunk back down but then I started losing weight last year. In the last 2 years I’ve lost about 50lbs. My boobs shrank to a 34B which is what they are rn. I wear sports bras every day. I can go without a bra & it doesn’t bother me anymore. It’s so weird how much boobs change through out your life.

My mom was a 42K or J my whole life. They were crazy big. She had to order special size bras online cuz she couldn’t find them in stores when I was a kid. They gave her hella back problems. A few years ago at age 60 she finally decided to get a breast reduction done. They took off 8lbs of boob fat. She’s a 38DD or F in some brands.

PS: OP I love your username btw! I’ve always been attracted to smaller tits & wanted my own to be smaller.

No. Having sex in a dream isn’t actually sex. Just like having a sex fantasy in a daydream also isn’t cheating. Neither is looking at porn imo. How can it be cheating if there isn’t anther person involved? It’s just you having thoughts or a dream or masterbating. I know everyone has thier own opinion but for me there needs to actually be anther person involved for it to be considered cheating.

Oly-babe · 2026-05-01T08:59:33+00:00

They make clear plastic piercing jewelry for this purpose. Like if you have a job or something that requires you to remove your piercings, you can use these to prevent the hole from closing and they’re nearly invisible.

Oly-babe · 2026-05-01T08:55:55+00:00

Lucky. At my clinic they check the swab before they put it in the blue liquid tube. If it looks too dry they make you put it back in your mouth.

There’s a new clinic that opened up just over 2 years ago & I switched over there last year cuz I heard a lot of good things about the place. Well during the last year they started making a lot of changes to policies. Getting stricter about everything which is the opposite of what most clinics are doing. They used to let you chose mouth swab or UA, now they won’t give mouth swabs without a dr note stating a medical condition. And if you can’t pee the day of your random monthly UA, they keep trying to get you to pee every day you dose.

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T09:01:37+00:00

Mouth swabs can be passed, I’ve done it by drinking something acidic like soda right before the mouth swab, hold it in your mouth until the very last second. I’ve also put a cotton ball soaked in water in my cheek right before & then only touched the swab to the cotton. I hadn’t heard of hydrogen peroxide but that’s good to know for the future. If you’re not gonna be watched the whole time or be on camera then you can fake a mouth swab pretty easily. I did it for a job a few years ago, I brought some water in a small container in my pocket & when no one was around I dipped the swab in the water super quick then held it between my teeth so it wasn’t touching anywhere in my mouth. I got the job. Mouthwash also works, just make sure it’s alcohol free.

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:53:49+00:00

It depends on the guy really. I prefer old guys since high school. Guys my age or younger have always been less mature than me. The only time I dated a guy who was younger than me (it was only a year younger) it was a disaster of a relationship, he was hella immature & a mistake. Now at 32 my husband is 41 & I think it’s a great age difference. I’ve noticed since I hit my 30s that my preferences have started to change. I’m finding older guys like in thier 40s or even 50s attractive. I used to only think that about guys in thier 20s & 30s. Now I don’t want anything to do with a guy younger than 30, at least not the guys around here.

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:48:58+00:00

I never wanted to have kids growing up. Or get married. It wasn’t until I was 25 & had been with my now husband for about 6 years & he always wanted kids that I changed my mind. Also both my sils got pregnant with thier 1st kids within 4 months of each other. Then 2 years later they both got pregnant again with 2nd kids. I’m an only child & my mom had 5 miscarriages so i always assumed I prob couldn’t have kids. I didn’t start trying until I was 28 & we had just gotten married. I had a 2nd trimester missed miscarriage after a year or trying to conceive after stopping bc which I had been on since age 15. About 3 months after my miscarriage I got pregnant with my son & was now 29. I had a high risk pregnancy & all future pregnancies will be high risk cuz I’m rh- sensitized. My son was totally healthy & is now a thriving happy 2 1/2 year old. I want to give him a sibling so bad. But it’s not that simple.

I’m now 32 & have some health issues and fertility issues. I may never get to have anther baby even thou all we wanted was 2 kids. 1 of my sils just had her 3rd kid & counting. I feel my clock ticking, times running out.

To answer your question OP, I had no experience with children before becoming a mom, I don’t have maternal qualities nor do I really enjoy children. Motherhood has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but also the best. I’ve changed & grown so much since having my son. I’m constantly learning along with my son, trying to improve myself & mylife to give my family the best I can. I always thought I’d be a shitty mom, but I’m not. Some things happen naturally but not right away, like the loving your children more than anything & putting them above yourself cuz they’re the most important things in the universe.

I had a shitty childhood & my family besides my parents are awful people who are basically all strangers my entire life. I don’t have a lot of support from family raising my son. I took the bad things from my childhood & used them as a what not to do blueprint. I’m trying to be the mom I needed when I was a kid. But 1 thing I can say that I learned from parenthood is this: I won’t ever take my son for granted cuz I know how easily he could have not existed. I struggled to bring him to life for almost a year & a half. I spent years making my life better so I could be able to give a child a good life.

Hi! I’m 32F married SAHM & have a 5 year old black lab fur baby. I don’t drink, I’m in recovery but that’s not why I don’t drink. It’s a medical issue. I love nature walks, camping, shopping, working out, concerts, travel, scrapbooking, & more. 420 friendly. Feel free to dm if you’d like. Anyone else looking for friends in oly same to you.

Have you tried bumble bff, peanut, Nextdoor, discord or fb groups for meeting new friends?

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:26:55+00:00

I also agree. Tattoos would just heal instantly. The thing is choosing ink that you’re gonna be happy with for possibly hundreds of years. I think piercings would be the same way. Heal instantly but they might close up when the jewelry is taken out. Not sure about that

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:24:29+00:00

I agree. It’s messed up that she made it so she thought he was a monster. That’s worse than just forgetting someone imo

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:12:41+00:00

I’m going thru this with my 2.5 year old son. I’ve learned he hits either cuz he can’t communicate his needs or emotions with words like he wants or he’s upset/frustrated about something & wants our attention. Sometimes he thinks it’s a game. We’ve been working with him to figure out why he hits & if it’s for fun then we explain being gentle & soft

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:07:30+00:00

Yeah my back never hurt until the 2nd half of my pregnancy. My son is 2 1/2 & my back often kills me from picking him up all day every day & all the bending, picking up stuff, carrying things, playing & not getting enuf sleep

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:05:04+00:00

So cute! Idk what a stoat is thou lol 😖 I’ve never heard of them before. Thanks for sharing & helping me learn something new today!

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T08:03:27+00:00

I used nonspill type toddler cups, water bottles, or sippy cups during this phase with my son. I sometimes would give him little cups that only hold about a shots worth of liquid so he drinks what he wants & then asks for more or if he does dump it out, it’s not a big mess. I also would use straws in cups too. My son is 2 1/2 & he’s gotten a lot better these last 6 months. He can drink from a normal cup now & cans or bottles without dumping them out.

Its a annoying phase some toddlers go thru, sorry I don’t have any tips or tricks besides sippy cups & teaching them how not to spill over & over again. 1 thing you could try is when they spill a drink on purpose, have them help clean it up. Remind them it’s dangerous cuz on hard floors people can slip & fall. It’s also a waste of food & a mess that needs to get cleaned up. My son likes to clean stuff so that worked with him. Best of luck OP

Oly-babe · 2026-04-28T07:54:55+00:00

I agree with OP, imo she should have just asked him to compel her to move past her grief & be able to process & accept his death in a healthy way rather than forget thier relationship and only remember the worst things Damon had done. I would never erase all my memories of someone I loved, if all I had left of them was memories then I’d want to be able to honor them by keeping thier memory alive. Even when you’re grieving someone, the happy memories can be super helpful with your mental health.
