It's the most effective there is unless you'd require above 40mg/day methadone, in which case buprenorphine hits its "ceiling effect" and you'd need to use methadone. Actually, methadone is probably just as hard to kick as oxycodone, so ask your doctor what to do.
I don't know enough about detox to give you an estimate, but it could be done as quickly as 6-7 days or over a much longer period of time. Buprenorphine is really an amazing drug.
