Meditox Drug Detox Centers and their alternative to 30 day admissions

I know people who have faced addiction issues with prescription drugs such as, Oxycontin, Vicodin, Lortab, Hydrocodone, Percocet, and other painkillers. I don't get into my personal health here often, or go into great detail, but I can say from personal experience that if you have dealt with a chronic pain issue it is very easy to understand how someone could become addicted to pain medication. While the first step is always realizing that a problem really exists and that is of course usually the hardest step, drug detox programs such as Meditox Drug Detox Centers offer could for some be the difference between getting help and not getting help.

According to Wikipedia:

On September 21, 2006, actor and comedian Artie Lange revealed on the Howard Stern Show that he had overcome heroin addiction the previous year. He said buprenorphine was essential to countering the effects of opioid withdrawal and described it as a 'miracle pill'.

If you read the information on the Meditox website as well as the information on Wikipedia, it has been established that Buprenorphine does work in helping to deal with painkiller addiction. So for those who do have a problem and the idea of entering a treatment facility for 30 days is what is stopping them, this could be an option to consider.
