Is suboxone a good thing to use temporary to relieve withdrawal symptoms from opiates such as vicodin and percocet?
Yes, Suboxone (buprenorphine) has been successfully used as a detoxification protocol to wean patients from opiate usage while minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Its molecules have a similar affinity for the same receptors as opiates but cause a less strong addictive potential, thus blocking the opiates and down-regulating the receptors for withdrawal. It may be used alone, or in combination with benzodiazepines (as Ativan, Xanax) or clonidine.

Most opiate addiction can be reversed using methadone as an interim agent to reduce withdrawal symptoms as the opiates are slowly decreased in a stepwise fashion.

Both are done under medically supervised monitoring protocols.
