Buprenorphene has a 48-72 hr half life which makes it a great drug to use for opiate recovery.Morphine is to weak for most addicts and you need to take it every couple hours.Thats why
methadone and buprenorphene work so well.Methadone patients usually dose once a day while a stable buprenorphene patient can dose evry other day or some even dose every third day......Dave
