This is literally the only CVS out of the many states I've filled (or attempted to fill) any or all of my various controversial as well as rare medications at, where there's just never any issues. Here's one I always get, if anyone's interested: They don't immediately assume I'm a recovering heroin addict with a prescription for Suboxone, while my prescription is clearly stating the exact drug to be dispensed: Buprenorphine. So they are not neglecting to fill, as well as not contacting me to let me know what's going on, having me contacting them to ask if they ever got it, where they then let me know they are refusing to fill my prescription until they get another one that includes my doctors' special license number that proves he can prescribe me my opiate addiction medication "suboxone" that is not even anything that I'm prescribed, nor even close to my diagnosis. Also, thanks for not just filling 2 weeks of my medication, instead of the full months supply, even though I'm paying out of pocket as I have no insurance. This CVS here, knows how to read prescriptions, and they aren't blinded by the glaring light of their assumptions and prejudices, at the expense of MY overall well being and time, and the domino effect impacting others in my life as well. I'm prescribed a low dose of a chronic pain medication- which is a mild opiate antagonist- as an alternative to the nasty toxic and mind altering oxycodones or morphines, or any of that strong stuff that I did not want to be prescribed any longer. It's called Buprenorphine. It was created for pain management. There is a brand name, where they call their buprenorphine "Subutex", not "generic". Suboxone is a different drug created more recently, that has Buprenorphine in it, and is a barbaric creation for heroin addicts specifically. It has drugs in it that make injecting it have no mind altering effects, therefore causing people attempting to get high via injection to destroy their organs and die, because if someone wants to get high by shooting up, they're going to keep trying to until they're finally high. And then all that controlling just caused more heroin sales and use, and deaths, and taxes wasted on caging humans. It caused your neighborhood to become much more of a dangerous place. Even more barbaric, is the level of control placed on accessing this drug, where making it hard for heroin addicts to access this suboxone crap, simply only causes heroin use instead. I've been in absolute awe with how hard these pharmacies have made my life, since filling Buprenorphine, instead of a huge bottle of very inexpensive strong opiates like I easily used to, all because of their inability to read my prescription that does NOT say "Suboxone". Buprenorphine is NOT Suboxone. Subutex is NOT Suboxone. However, sometimes heroin users in recovery are prescribed Buprenorphine instead of Suboxone, because it's a much healthier and wiser choice. (Unfortunately these patients must go through hell to get insurance to cover buprenorphine, as they'll only cover the more expensive suboxone, by making their doctor submit essays proving their patient has serious gastrointestinal problems from taking their toxic suboxone.) To this CVS: thank you for reading my prescription properly, and for not assuming I'm a heroin addict instead of a chronic sufferer of severe pain, so that I can do other things with my time besides fight for days for my medication, showing the pharmacy that there's no special License number required, and why didn't anyone let me know it wasn't being filled while you instead take days trying to contact my drs office the wrong way, where you might get a call back in a week, when had you just contacted me, like I've signed up for notifications, then I'd immediately show you how to immediately get in touch with my drs office, and even faster, I'd just ask you to please read the prescription to me, so I could then co
