Anxiety. Using IV Heroin, Xanax, Buprenorphine, Had Taken Naltrexone For Sedation. What Can I Expect?
I am currently using iv heroin, plus I take xanax for anxiety. I'm trying to find a program ASAP to get detoxed from heroin. My worry is that any place will not give me buprenorphine if I have xanax in my system. Is this true? I was also looking into the rapid withdrawal detox and really wanted to try it, but again, I didn't know if the xanax will cause a problem with the naltrexone that they give during sedation along with all the other meds while you're sedated. I need help desperately. I can't go on living like this anymore. I'm using alot and I'm really scared. I just want a treatment that will get me through withdrawal with the least amount of symptoms.

Anxiety. Using IV Heroin, Xanax, Buprenorphine, Had Taken Naltrexone For Sedation. What Can I Expect?
Hello, Welcome to Healthcare Magic. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist. It is never given in active heroine users. It is given after 5-7 days of detoxification. There is no relation with Xanax and treatment with Buprenorphine, as both belong from different class. I would advice get yourself evaluated by de addiction specialist in non judgmental way, and then only take treatment related decision. Wish you good health and all the best.
