When you are cuffed up you are using a replacement opiate such as methadone
Suboxone subutex. It is most commonly used to refer to being dependent
On methadone from a clinic. This is because you have to
go every day
Unless you
stay completely clean then you get one take home dose for every clean
Month I believe you can get a total of 12 take home doses that you need to
Keep In a lock
box at all times. On to the other
drugs that cause you to
Be "cuffed up" but not nearly as strict is suboxone or subutex. You usually
Have to see your
doctor bi weekly and attend group
therapy sessions.
You are subject to random drug screens (generally every visit. They gotta get that $)
If you continue to use and come up positive for opiates you are subject
To even tighter restrictions such as weekly visits
small prescriptions
For your meds. This in turn usually costs you money if you have insurance
Because it costs the same amount to fill a two weeks supply as it does
For a month. Plus suboxone / subutex
aren'
t all they are said to be. But
Since you have to self administer in the
usa you can time your dosing
Schedule so you can get high and be minimally sick usually for no more
Than a few hours.

buddyTold me he
