There has to be more to this story because this has to be the strangest restrictions that I have ever heard set by a Probation Officer especially if the therapy is helping reduce your opiate dependancy. My guess is that you were on County rather than State Parole/Probation given the short one month sentence. Get your attorney to file a petition with the Court requesting that you be allowed to continue with the therapy at the out of county physcian. If the Suboxone therapy is part of an NA type program put your attorney intouch with the NA group leader and the Physcian.
