I have just gone through a Rapid detox program successfully weaning off Morphine and the Fentanyl Duragesic patch, using Subutex for the last 30 days. Is an 8mg sublingual Subutex pill as needed addictive. Average use would be between 2-3 days per week. Thank you.
Is the drug subutex addictive or is it an opiate blocker?

Apparently you can become addicted to suboxone/subutex although if you follow up with you meetings at the place you recovered and ask the subutex doctor to taper you so you can get off, you should be fine. it can be used for some of us on a longer term so we can stay clean and you want to stay on as small a dose as possible to remain comfortable yet sober/clean.congrats on your detox and sobriety. stay around your support team.
