I am really sorry for what you are going through right now. I watched my brother struggle with addiction to Oxy for years. He eventually graduated to smoking herion. I did some research and found out about a RX called Suboxone. I mentioned it to him a couple months ago and told him no pressure just tossing the idea out there in case you want to get off the H. He impressed me so much! He made the calls to Drs set up appts & I took him & paid for the pills. They are a miracle drug. Stops the withdrawal symptons and stops cravings. He gets sleepy from them but he can think and function like a normal person now. He had tried methadone in the past and it was not a good experience but this has been incredible for him.
I know not everybody responds the same to medications but this might be something to look into if you need help.
I can tell you paying cash for the meds is damn expensive. I think around $6-8 a pill in AZ (he was taking about 3 a day at first) but having my brother back is worth every damn penny.
I am so shocked by how few people are aware of this drug. It seems so unfair to me.
I know my insurance would have covered the RX for a copay of about $15 so it might be covered by yours also.
Here is a link the website.

Good Luck with this. I know it is not easy.
