While I agree that a 4 day detox is best for some people, and certainly enough to make the withdrawal relatively painless, some people are better off with a longer taper.
Some people are better off being on suboxone for a longer period of time, allowing them to get their life back in order before stopping. It is very easy to relapse if you just detox quickly, and have not yet made positive changes in your life. Taking suboxone during this time will help with the cravings as well as blocking other opiates, so it's one less thing to worry about while they get their life on track.
These are things to consider when deciding between a quick taper, and a prolonged taper.
Yeah that's why I was saying if he still wants to use and cant handle it then he might need to be on suboxone for a longer period of time.
