Unfortunately it is legal and your only real option is to take as little of your extra suboxone as possible until you find a new doctor. If all the doctors on the list your old doctor arn't good then do as posted above and go to suboxone.com and see if there are any doctors in your area that isn't on the list u have already. I do know that there are places in new york that take insurance for suboxone although not all types. Two of my friends went to the same doctor they took ones insurance and the other had to pay cash(money down and then monthly $425 for prescription plus $100 for visit.) 

it's the medical records that are important.  As long as you have access to your medical records then you can start talking to the physicians on the referrel list and build a rapport with another physician.

medical records are relevant for a variety of reasons.

first off, most doctors want medical records before prescribing any type of controlled substance. it is just considered good medical practice. secondly, medical records will illustrate to other physicians why the patient was on sub, what dosage the patient was on, how the patient has tolerated the drug, et cetera.  furthermore, it will provide the future prescriber other potentially relevant information (such as drug allergies).  most responsible physicians will want to have all of this information instead of relying on the patients word of mouth.

there is a reason that doctors ask for new patients medical records and not their old prescription bottles. 

It isn't always necessary to get a patient's old records.  Some patients have uncomplicated medical histories and are good historians.  Getting a patients old records can be a huge pain, and are not always useful.  Patients don't have a valid address or phone number for their old doctor, the notes are illegible, the notes are incomplete, the patient was seeing multiple specialists, etc. 

You are entitled to one free copy of your medical records, so go get your copy now.....like someone said, before the poo hits the fan...I feel for you....the dr locator on suboxone.com try that....then you might try calling a few that are in your area and see if they are accepting new patients....Did you ever find out why the office closed?

i think u should definately get copies of your records, as i was in a similar situation about a year ago.  i was living in maine seeing a pcp, who was rxing me 120 roxi 15s a month for neck pain from herniated discs and DDD with the arm and hand pains etc.  so after i finally got my wkmans comp retro pay, i moved back down to mass which is my home state, but was gonna continue seeing this dr in maine because we had a good trusting relationship and i hadnt found a dr down in mass yet.  so i ha dseen him twice while living in MA, once a month, until Feb. came.  i had an appt with him, now his office staff was a bunch of u know whats, but he had moved to a different office so i thought these new people might be better.  so i drive the 2 hours up to maine, and this was the appt i was gonna have him refer me to another doc down in MA near where I lived, and also have him refer me to a neurosurgeon that i had seen a couple years back.  so i get to his office, and the lady asked me , "didnt anyone call you?"  and "didnt u receive a letter?", i answered NO to both. and she proceeded to tell me that my doc had left the practice and found another job!!  WITH NO NOTICE TO ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  so i drove up there for 2 hours, AND my roxis needed to be refilled.  so I went off on these people.  this was just a continuation of how i had been treated the whole time i saw this dr,  because i was young, had tattoos and piercings and am a big dude, they assumed i was a drug addict coz i was receiving narcotics every month for my pain.  So they didnt bother to let me know he was gone.   So i told them I was NOT leaving without a refill for my meds after what they pulled..  I really let them have it.  so i waited for about 15 mins and finally another dr came out and pulled me in a little hallway and gave me a script for my meds, and told me to find another doc.  I said "gee thanks I hadnt figured that out yet!!" but i was a lot more rude.  so right then and there I signed a release for my records to be sent right to my house in MA, because knowing this office i knew that if i waited too long my records might disappear too, or be misplaced etc.  The point being.... if u stop seeing a dr that was giving u narcotic pain meds, or subs or whatever it may be, GET your records ASAP.  not only will it make it easier on u when u find another doc, but you wont have to deal with them losing them or whatever.  ESPECIALLY if you are being discriminated against wether u know it or not.  For being an addict, or being on suboxone, methadone, it does not matter!!    So with that doc, most likely he was giving rxs out like candy and got busted.  unless u found out what really happened to him.  Anyways good luck with the suboxone.
