How long does it take to detox off suboxone?

Answer 1

About a week usually. Suboxen (actually its called Suboxone) is a miracle drug. It all depends on you really. In a rehab they will have you take Suboxone everyday, gradually reducing the mg until your off of it. Which some people do for two weeks, a month or more. I think that is unnecessary though. Taking just one Suboxone will help with your entire detox. But what I have done in the past is just take one every time I feel sick. Usually that's every other day, and that ends up being only 6 days. Really it depends on if your willing to feel just a little bit sick. If you need to get clean fast then just take one, then wait and if you feel REALLY bad again take another. You should be clean in no time.

I have been on cocaine and pain killers for about 8 years now and i take a quarter piece of suboxone a day(2 mgs) and it helps with the pain and sickness.

Answer 2

It is a lengthy process to wean off of suboxone. This drug has a 36 hour half life. It isn't recommended to go cold turkey, because withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Depending on various factors such as how long a person has been on it and what their dosage is, the timeline for detoxing completely takes anywhere from a few weeks, to several months, or more.

Answer 3

Suboxine (buprenorphine-naloxone) is an opioid. It does have a fairly long half-life of 36 hours. In other words, in 36 hours, your blood level of this drug would be reduced by 50%; in 72 hours, your blood level would be reduced by 25%; in 108 hours, your blood level would be reduced by another 12.5%, and so on.

Answer 4

It depends on how long and how much opiates you were using. There is no painless way so get that out of your head. The suboxone makes it a whole lot easier. Someone with a serious opiate habit has to let there self go into FULL withdrawal before starting the subs and even then it might take a day or so to kick in. I suggest you take no more than two 8-mlgrm tabs a day for about two weeks then one 8-mlgrm tab for a week and then go to a half for a week then a quarter for a week and then stop and be glad you didn't have to do it without the subs and never do opiates again.

Answer 5

Since Suboxone has such a long half life, metabolites can be detected in urine for quite a bit longer than most opiates. Depending on dose and how often it is used, it can be detected for up to a week.

Answer 6

Depends on the individual. Usually day three and four are the worst, by the fifth day you begin to feel better. Should you taper the dosage your effects will lessen
