I agree Travis, the Dr.’s that want someone to come off of buprenorphine in a set time frame, in my opinion, don’t really understand addiction. There are physiological brain changes that occur with addiction. Depending on the severity of one’s addiction, these brain changes/adaptations can take years, or sometimes never, to return to a pre-addiction state. I found a really good Dr. who understands this. He also runs the methadone I work at, in addition to his sub. clinic.
