I had to detox from 140mg of methadone at my clinic by skipping two days from time to time until I was down to 30mg. The reason being no detox would take me until I dropped to that dose. I spent 6 days in detox dropping from 30mg to 0mg. The Doctor there let me stay two extra days to achieve withdrawl symptoms from the methadone and started me on 8mg of suboxone twice daily. It's two years later and I take a half or full 8mg suboxone depending on my day, mood, cravings, etc. Look Im no saint but suboxone got me away from those liquid handcuffs.
