@Needs As Dee stated, people here can't tell you how to medicate and detox, just what they're experiences in such situations are/were. He should definitely be working with his doctor to do this. Everyone's taper schedule and doses are different. I CAN say, with willpower and determination that tapering from Suboxone can be done relatively easy, I've dropped my doses substantially in a relatively short amount of time....but just like any opiate, when it comes to jump day - He has to really want to stop, or he will scare himself into taking more once the w/d sets in. Some people go through very little withdrawal when ending Subs, I had a good week of solid symptoms, but my situation may have been very different. Good luck.
