In order to best serve the people I work with, I am always trying to learn as much as I can about addiction and treatment options for addicts. A site that I frequent for such information is from Dr. Jeffrey Junig, a psychiatrist and recovering opiate-addict from Wisconsin who blogs at suboxonetalkzone.com
Dr. Junig's no-nonsense approach, experience, and honesty offer professionals, addicts, and the general public clear answers to their questions about addiction and Suboxone. This week, Dr. Junig posted a YouTube video response to the ever-present anti-Suboxone question, "Isn't it just trading one drug for another?" Dr. Junig's well-thought out and informative video-reply simply addresses the question, "Why do you care so much about people using Suboxone?"

Dr. Junig is very good at working with suboxone patients questions and also working around the pitfalls of being on Suboxone in a treatment community that has yet to accept the medication.
ARM-ME definitely has a different view of methadone treatment than Dr. Junig, but I find his posts are very comforting for patients on Suboxone.
ARM-Maine works on fighting the stigma of medication assisted treatment (MAT) in Maine, as well as advocacy efforts at the state and national level for patients utilizing MAT.

Thanks Amanda!! I have recently received help from a friend who does 'IT', to create a forum at 'suboxforum.com'. Please check it out and link if you find it valuable-- meanwhile I will link to your blog as well if I haven't already. I did the forum because I became tired of the harassment at all of the other med sites from those who insist on taking the inventories of others!
Take care,
Jeff J
