Suboxone

Hi all. I have been toying with starting a methadone program after 10 years of opiate abuse, withdrawal and relapse. Recently I have been reading alot about Suboxone and have read some of the stories on this site.
I have found a doctor in my immediate area that can prescribe it, but had a few questions before I make the (costly) appointment
1) Why would someone reccommend Suboxone over Methadone?
2) What is the cost of Suboxone? I have no insurance. Methadone is $12 a day, plus a bunch of other fees. Could Suboxone be a better option cost wise?
3) What are the requirments to be eiligible for Suboxone treatment?
Any info would be great!
