Another +1 for the kitchen safe. $59 for the mini on Amazon. You can take the batteries out after you set it. It stores the time indefinitely. So, if you wanted 60 days, you’d set it for 10, take the batteries out, and then put them back in on the 50th day. Zero ways to hack it, unless you break the safe. Been huge for me as a self locker.

If she is working and doing well and she is doing better than she was when she was on oxycontin, in my opinion, that is a very good thing. I am a recovering opiate addict with over 2.5 years clean. I have been on suboxone for over 4 years (had a couple relapses at first, until I got my dose properly adjusted.) What I always tell people is I don't mind being dependent on a drug if I am doing well in all other areas of my life and if I am not doing any of the negative behaviors that I was doing before (stealing, lying, driving while impaired, etc.)

That being said, I know that some addicts can feel a compulsion to take more suboxone than they are prescribed. It is very odd because taking more suboxone does not make you feel high or anything like that. Once you are on a stable dose, it feels like taking any other medication every day. But I think our addiction leaves us with some habits that don't always make sense. I have known people that would inject water into their veins, just because they needed to inject something. This might be happening with your family member. I would say that if she isn't taking more than she is prescribed, don't worry too much about it. This stuff all gets easier with time and distance from active addiction. However, if she is taking more than she is prescribed that is a problem, mainly because she is going to run out early and that will really increase her chance for relapse. If she goes to the street to buy more, it can be very triggering and possibly cause her to buy something stronger. I would maybe talk to her about your concerns but make sure to come from a place of love and support. It would probably be very helpful if you acknowledged all the progress she has made and how well she is doing currently. Do not make any accusations as that will make her defensive and less likely to want to engage in conversation with you.

If she agrees with you and is worried about taking more than prescribed, maybe an arrangement can be made. When I first got on suboxone, I had a family member hold on to it for me and they would dispense it every day to me for the first month or 2. As I got more stable and strong in my recovery, I took control of my own medicine and have not had any issues with taking more than I was supposed to. I have a friend who recently got clean who uses this kitchen lock box. It has a timer and you can set it for any amount of time in the future, up to 7 or 10 days, I think. What my friend does is she takes her AM dose in the morning, puts the medicine back in the box and then sets the lock for 8 or 10 hours or whatever amount of time until her PM dose. The safe opens up when it is time to take her next dose and then she puts her medicine back in and sets the timer for the next morning for her AM dose again. She told me this really helps her because if she knows it isn't really an option, she doesn't think about it. Keep in mind, this would take some element of will power since all it would take is something like a hammer to get into the box prematurely but with the price at $70 to replace, there is a deterrence factor there. The person using it also needs to be able to not just take more out when the box is opened for their dose. I don't think this safe/box would work for most addicts if something like heroin was in the box (they would smash it for sure.) But like I said, suboxone doesn't get you high and so I think this would work for a lot of addicts who are having minor cravings to take some extra suboxone throughout the day. My friend has been doing this for 2 or 3 months and hasn't had any issues. She said it has been a relief that she doesn't have to think about maybe taking some extra suboxone every day.

I do want to note that as far as I know, not all addicts have cravings for suboxone while they are taking suboxone. And from what I've seen, the ones who do generally get better with time and distance from their addiction. In my opinion, suboxone is a wonderful treatment for opiate addiction and I don't want anyone to think that it shouldn't be used because some addicts get cravings for it. I think that is just old habits from their addiction and there are definitely ways to "treat" or manage those habits. Therapy is another thing that should be looked into as it really increases an addicts chances of recovery, especially when used in conjunction with suboxone/MAT. I hope this comment was helpful and please let me know if you have any more questions. I am not an expert like the OP is but I do have a lot of experience with addiction and treatment so I think/hope that my opinions and advice can be useful to other people.

I just purchased this today: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N04UT24/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here’s a timed locking safe it’s kind of pricey but maybe you can find something similar for cheaper

Or maybe itll be worth the cost in the end

Yeah take that long break, drink a lotta water and also work on rebuilding the dopamine receptors so they start working like normal again, weed replaced the need. Good luck, I bought a tool that really helps if you're tempted 😁 I was a daily for a couple years it took a toll on my self discipline.

You probably don't need it, but I still use it for weekly just to keep it outta my mind and get that better high.

Buy one of these

Put your keys in before you start drinking and set the timer. Make the decision to not drink and drive before you consume alcohol. Alcohol takes away your judgement and you will not make the best decision if you have had too much to drink

I highly recommend this little time safe. It's cheap and can lock up your keys for up to a month. And if you get super desperate it's smashable with a hammer.
