Patient I
 
 
I'm 23 years old and I've been with Doctor Howalt for about a year now after being addicted to opiates, as recreational use, for about four years.  I really thought I would have to go through my whole life being dependent on opiates and always looking for my next high, while always wanting more.  It was never enough, I was never satisfied.  This became a miserable life to lead.  I had been to rehab three times and been through outpatient counseling but it never worked, I'd always go back to getting high.
 
 Then I started treatment with Dr. Howalt.  Prior to coming to the San Luis Obispo Addiction Recovery Center the longest I had ever been sober was three months. Now I've been sober for over a year and I'm enjoying life more than ever!  Treatment with Suboxone works!  Thanks to Suboxone I have had no craving or desire to abuse opiates, which is just crazy unbelievable!  My family and I have never been closer and I actually have "real" friends and people that actually trust me instead of people I just get high with and. I've been getting straight A's in school which used to be C's, D's or F's, usually because I would just drop out.  More than anything I'm way proud of myself and forever grateful to the people who've helped me become sober. I actually have an exciting future ahead of me, and it does not include looking for my next high.
