We have two very important topics to discuss in this newsletter. 

Suboxone/buprenorphine and dental issues

We have heard from literally thousands of you who have reached out to us to share your story about dental issues you've had since you've been taking Suboxone, Subutex, or Belbuca. There is currently a law firm interested in investigating this issue. 

Please check out the link on our website that explains all about the FDA warning and what to do about it to contact the lawyers. 

Please be sure to fill out the form on the website created by the law firm instead of e-mailing us about your experience with buprenorphine and your dental injury.

How to file a civil rights (ADA) violation

We explain how to file a complaint in detail on our website.

According to the ADA website, "The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else."

If you think you may have had your civil rights violated please file a complaint here. 

Some issues that should be reported are: 

1. If you've been abandoned or dismissed by your doctor.
2. If you've been forced off your meds or force tapered.
3. If NarxCare, PDMP, or any other data analytics have been used as a reason for a medical decision.
4. If you've been forced down to a certain MME.
5. If you've been forced to choose between an opioid and a benzo.
6. If you've been denied or cut off of opioids due to having been sexually abused as a child.
7. If you've been denied or cut off of opioids due to having a mental health diagnosis such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.

This list isn't exhaustive. It's just to give you some examples.
