Methadone is more appropriate if you are using higher doses of opiates. Methadone is more appropriate during pregnancy.
Methadone is more appropriate if you have chronic, severe pain. Buprenorphine is more appropriate if you want to eventually get off all drugs. It's easier to get off of Buprenorphine than to get off of Methadone. In the U.S., Buprenorphine can be prescribed by any physician who has been certified to prescribe it. Methadone, on the other hand, can only be prescribed (for opiate addiction) in special clinics. Thus, you can get Buprenorphine in a regular doctor's office (if the doctor is certified) rather than having to go to a special clinic. Some people prefer this, since when you go to a regular doctor's office nobody in the lobby knows you're a drug addict.

How long does methadone withdrawal take after you stop injecting 10 mgs of it per day for a month?
Well, methadone is an extremely powerful narcotic pain killer. It's actually the first step in a gradual detox program from heroine. By a month, your body has already created receptors to replace the ones blocked by the opioids in the methadone. Withdrawals are going to be excruciating and miserable for upwards of 72 hours, and probably will fail. Best method of detox is to find a source of oxycodone or low-dose morphine, and then wean down to low-dose hydrocodone, and then drop the meds completely. Otherwise, strap yourself down in a detox clinic and ride out the few days. You'll feel like death until it's over with. There is no quick detox that can be done on your own, in all probability. Good luck.
