Wrong, it won't put him into withdrawal if he takes H on SubO, it will just block its euphoria. Now the Naloxone in the SubO, if he tries to inject or insufflate the pill will reverse the effect of the Buprenorphine and that could put him into W/D.
I've read it takes 4 days off the SubO before other opioids can take effect.
