Rapid bupe tapers are good for a lot of people too.
It was Harbor Village Detox in Miami Florida. It wasn't well run in the slightest. But it has a slick website and employed one of the interventionists from A$Es intervention which I thought was funny. Treatment is so one size fits all that its really only smart to go to those places if you have a very average everyday addiction. Not too belittle people who are addicted to Norco or vicoden but that's really the kind of habit a 5 day bupe taper is designed for. People with large habits or maintenance drug habits are better off doing it at home or in an actual hospital where snap decisions can be made if something goes sideways. My experience kicking benzos at UAB hospital in Birmingham was night and day to that experience. The taper was still brutally fast but I knew I wasn't going to die if I had a seizure. That kind of piece of mind is worth something to me. The bill I got last week had some sticker shock but that's what bankruptcy is for^ i've only ever done it with self-administered tapering.
2mg is way too high a dose to jump off
That sounds like a very poorly run detox. 2mg is at least 10 times more than you should taper off to IMO/IME
