Girlfriend dazed and confused about suboxone?

It is usually the best idea to taper someone down to 30 mgs or less of methadone and for them to wait 3 days and go on subutex first, then go to suboxone when they are sure methadone is out of the system. They may be talking about putting him in a recovery clinic and doing, but you will have to ask them on that point. If you will go to suboxone.com, there is a tollfree number listed there where you can get additional and specific info. There are cases where they do put a person who is on more than 30mgs of methadone onto subutex, but it is done in a controlled medical setting, and should never be attempted at home, NEVER. The patients vitals are constantly monitored in this case and all lifesaving equipment is there, NO ONE should attempt this at home. I have to put that info in the post, because people read these posts and don't comment or post, but buy subs off the street and then attempt to switch to subs from methadone and they could go into precip or worse.

There are also some great videos on YouTube.com by 2 posters named SuboxDoc and Maple2609. You might watch Maple's vids first for why someone should consider subs, then Dr. Junig's ( SuboxDoc) to find out more info. There vids on subs are pretty good and accurate. Pattishan
