When detoxing from opiates the suboxone replaces the opiates correct?
In a round-about way, so to speak yes. The suboxone attaches to the receptors that control pain. They keep them occupied so your brain is getting the narcotic from the suboxone in a less abusive way then opiates. Your switching to the lesser of two evils though if you don't get off the suboxone relatively quick (5-7 days) you will still have to go through detox, just then for the suboxone. The key is to not have any opiate left on the receptors, or very little, when you first take suboxone otherwise the two meds fighting for position will cause precipitated withdrawals:( Check "Your Addiction Solutions" for more

What does taking suboxone after opiates do?
suboxone/subutex is the latest prescription drug that can be substituted in place of another narcotic.. sub stops the horrible withdrawal symptoms when going off a narcotic once you're addicted..unfortunately you are simply replacing one narcotic for another narcotic.. although word is getting off suboxone much easier than getting off methadone, so switching to suboxone to get off methadone and then getting off subutex certainly make sense..in the case of getting off other narcotics[percs,Oxycontin,morphine,etc] can't really say that getting off suboxone is any easier than getting off those other narcotics because subutex is just another synthetic narcotic..

You are on suboxone and going for surgury can you still be on suboxone or do you need to be off for a couple of days thanks?
i would recomend a rapid taper of your daily dose and do not take it 2-3 days before surgey (if u can if not try taking just 1/4 of an 8mg pill or less) discuss it with the surgeon, (unless you do not want him to know your on suboxone) other than that, that's my best answer :)
How long after you take a Suboxone can you do opiates again?
Based on how much an how often you use you will devolop a tolernace by the end of a week with daily use or by the end of a month with an alternating day route. This can also be affected by how you use (EX. IV users tend to develop tolerance much faster) I feel some people are more proned to build tolerance faster than others. If you remain a chipper which i highly recommend and use only say once every Saturday every other week you will remain addiction free and get the most bang for your buck. Developing a tolernace leads to the loss off pleasurable effects that opiates give, once you lose it its very hard to get back at a reasonable dose. And if you have never used heroin or any opiates for that matter please start with a very small amount there is no gurantee how potent it will be and you could overdose very easily your first time.
