Does meth block your opiate withdrawl symptoms?

First off, it depends what meth you are talking about. METHADONE does block opiate withdrawal symptoms and is used to get people off of herion or other opiates. If you are talking about methamphetamine, than no. Methamphetamine will actually make opiate withdrawal worse at times, but it may make it easier to deal with them during the "high" of methamphetamine because of how powerful of a drug it is.

If someone on Suboxone maintenance slips can they be remedicated at a maintenance dose once their tox screen is negative?

Yes, but it is absolutely essential that you wait until you're seriously in withdrawal from the other opiate, before you go back on Suboxone (like, a good 18 to 24 hours, at least). If you go back on Suboxone before you're in withdrawal from the other opiate, you will have the worst, most horrible withdrawal symptoms you've ever felt.
