Suboxone – A Miracle Drug?

I have no issues what so ever with pharmaceutical help for addiction such as Methadone or Suboxone. What I do take issue is with newspapers reporting that a drug like Suboxone is a miracle drug because now small town people won't have to go to the big city for treatment, they can get treatment on an outpatient basis from their own physicians.

While I understand that physicians must first become certified to be able to prescribe Suboxone, I'm just a little skeptical about the type of recovery program a patient will be expected to participate in while they are taking their Suboxone if it is being prescribed by their primary care physician.
