Emmanuel and Phillipa.... Thank you for your post. I have found some information about rapid detox from opioids using Suboxone. It is a four day detox. The theory is that in a 4 day period of abstinence from from opioids those drugs will be out of your system, and by replacing it with Suboxone for that short term the patient does not devolop a dependence on it. What I read seemed to show good outcomes. It was a Tx center in Penn. that uses this method. I still havn't been able to find research on outcomes for long term use.
