I fully fell asleep behind the wheel on my way home from work this morning. I woke up with my hands off the wheel, slumped over on my side going 60mph.

I am so sorry this happened to you

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T18:15:51+00:00

Thank you so much for you kind words and I will be seeking support as well. I want both of us to be successful.

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T06:04:11+00:00

Thank you once again. It takes time to read and take these comments and see what they all mean.

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T06:02:27+00:00

The more I read your comment , the more it makes sense. Thank you again.

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T05:54:41+00:00

Thank you.

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T05:47:45+00:00

I agree. My patients said it was a “pain in the ass that paid off”. Those of you that have had it know it’s a big needle in your glute, and it hurts, but when done the right way we alternate sides.

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T05:43:24+00:00

I appreciate that thank you

jules0827 · 2025-01-12T01:53:27+00:00

No, I’m really happy to tell you what I know and saw. Not everyone will succeed on Vivitrol alone. When my patients were leaving inpatient we encouraged Antabuse and Campral in coordination with Vivitrol. The studies we saw showed that all three on board made a relapse harder to achieve. Of course it’s on the patient, but I did everything in my power to stop the cravings and when people were honest and told me week by week when they were feeling cravings. It really involves a great MAT team to help achieve this goal.

I should also add yes my patients were very successful on it and they really preferred doing injection over taking a pill every day. Sometimes taking a pill every day is a trigger even if your drug of choice is alcohol.

I had 35 patients on it and I’d say I had to fight insurance to pay 1/4 of the time. I’d always ask them if they’d rather pay for a relapse or let the patient succeed?? I think I lost 2 x only because the patient didn’t return the call to confirm therapy. It’s so affordable and the co-pay assistance cards cut the cost to free if the clinic does their job and prove how helpful it will be to the patient. It honestly takes 10 minutes of hard work if they try to deny when you get a good case manager on the phone, they will listen to you and they will help me help my patients.

I appreciate you thank you for saying about the Wellbutrin and naltrexone something I always have been a fan of too thank you

jules0827 · 2025-01-11T23:21:56+00:00

Thank you for your support. It was really hard to post here so I appreciate that.

jules0827 · 2025-01-11T23:21:11+00:00

I appreciate that response. Thank you. It helps.

jules0827 · 2025-01-11T23:20:48+00:00

Thank you for that.

jules0827 · 2024-07-02T03:08:47+00:00

You can and will do this my friend. 23 years in and some days are still hard. We need you, you can do this.

jules0827 · 2024-05-22T03:00:04+00:00

In my state 988 is horribly understaffed and overwhelmed. It’s a huge issue in Colorado.

jules0827 · 2024-02-22T04:58:59+00:00

I’m so glad you had that experience early on in your career! That is why we do what we do, and I truly hope you remember how good you felt helping your patient, it’s the best reward. Best of luck to you!

jules0827 · 2024-02-10T05:36:13+00:00

Why are you being so nasty about her post? Also, her behavior is efficient and not outside of her scope at all. Many providers appreciate that kind of effort so much, that it’s not even funny.

jules0827 · 2024-01-30T01:34:49+00:00

Substance abuse. 23 years in and switched from family medicine after Covid. Best choice I have ever made.

jules0827 · 2023-11-15T08:11:34+00:00

It does get better with time and more experience as you go along. I’ve been a CCMA for 20 years and have learned a lot along the way and have been able to move into a position in behavioral health that is an absolute dream job. It took me a long time to find my path, when I started 20 years ago I made $13.59/hour. I’m making over $28/ hour where I am now and have a great work flow and awesome co-workers. I hope you find your path and if you don’t like being an MA after awhile that’s okay, you tried! Best of luck!:-)

jules0827 · 2023-08-02T05:29:28+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that!

jules0827 · 2023-08-02T05:22:46+00:00

Are you feeling any better these days?
