There is a taper plan, however it goes according to how much and how long your son has been on suboxone. I've been noticing from reading here, doctors tend to put patients on high doses for long periods of time, which causes a longer slower tapering to avoid withdrawals from what we were trying to withdraw from before. Try to make sense of that statement. Hopefully he hasn't been on high dosages for a long time. I personally think suboxones should be very low dose for less than 6 months. Low dose I mean 2 mg to 1 mg within a week or two just to get through withdrawals, then quickly get off suboxones, hopefully with enough time to quit thinking about taking oxys or vic's or heroin.At this stage you are really ready to quit. Not just looking for another substitute.
