The human body cannot survive without food and water for long periods of time. In fact, according to SurvivalTopics.com, the longest a person can go without water is 10 days--without food, it's four to six weeks. However, due to certain other variables, these numbers can vary.
I have a job that provides me with health insurance. So the doc visit would have been like $150 (USD) and the Sub would've been $385 (USD). But, the insurance will probably cover the doctor visit and they covered all but $65 (USD) of the Subox. I hope it works because it's the most viable option when compared with methadone and cold turkey. Wish me luck.
I have insurance, so SUBOXONE is 80 a month, bupe is $5....big diff. If money is a problem, i believe GENERIC low dose is the way to go. But the doctor visits will be costly. AND, at least at first you will have to go every month to a visit, in order to get a refill. I get mine from a psychiatrist, who DOESN'T take insurance (none do) so in reality, though i pay 5 for the meds, I pay another 175 per month for a 45 minute visit.
