Patients are recommended to be in “MIld Withdrawal” as defined by the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS).  If you are not experiencing mild withdrawal symptoms, you risk putting yourself into severe withdrawal when you take your first buprenorphine dose. Please be honest with your provider about your drug history so they can help you smoothly transition to buprenorphine.

Buprenorphine is a bridge.between using opioids to get high and being completely free of all opioids. For some period of time (and it depends on the patient), buprenorphine allows patients to get their lives back in order. Taken as prescribed, it does not get you high and allows you to avoid withdrawal and cravings while at the same time allowing you to lead a normal, functional, responsible life. For as long as you are taking buprenorphine, you will remain dependent on opioids.  When it’s time for you to taper off completely, you will need lots of support and we are here to do whatever we can to help.

Some people take Suboxone for long periods of time, while others only take it for a little while before tapering off.
