Rubbish. Most of the time it is because of allergy to Morphine.

Not here to argue with anyone......its just my experience and my 2 cents. Which is probably overpriced. :-) Cheers.

Tolerance to opiates is built rapidly and thatтАЩs how people end up with $400/day habit just to face the day. I worked in detox and suboxone really helped but if itтАЩs stopped, the cravings for the drug are so bad it sends detoxed people directly back to the drug when theyтАЩre released. ItтАЩs a terrible problem.

It's not so much "craving for the drug" as wanting relief from the horrible anxiety and insomnia/restlessness that comes along with withdrawal.

The depression that frequently attends detoxification leads to more use, unfortunately. One's ability to cope with this and the intensity of the desire to quit (or lack of it) determines whether one starts using again. Also, if the conditions that make using appealing are not removed (boredom, grinding poverty, existential hopelessness, no future prospects, etc.) "relapse" is likely.
