IV hits you all at once, subQ is spread out more. Same area under the curve, but the curve has a much flatter shape.

Then the addiction is in total control....nothing else...Oxycontin and Pardue. I don't have to read or watch TV....I've seen it first hand. Best back surgeon, best hospital, best everything....except actually managing excruciating post-op pain....for over ten years  .
My older sister will die hoplessly addicted to methadone though...that's her world and it sucks. But she's alive...and doing pretty OK now...but no different than a heroin addict on the street....

You don't get addicted in a week. Older sister on methadone is entirely different from an addict scoring smack on the corner.
