I really don’t know man.

When I was using, I mixed up half lives a lot. I used buprenorphine between using, tried to use methadone to detox then kept using etc etc. I spent ages trying to figure out what kinda damage I was in for come the withdrawals.

I look back on it now, and it all seemed a bit futile. It’s like trying to predict the future, or the weather. Even if you manage to get your head around the science, there’s always the unpredictable nature of detox, especially when partial agonists are involved.

If I were you, I’d stop trying to weigh up the damage. The one thing you’re certain of is that you’ve been using for a week or two. Regardless of the half-lives, IMO you’re not looking at too much damage YET.

Can I ask, are you planning on quitting drugs and working on your life? Post-detox, you’ll need to have measures in place, be it 12-steps, SMART, counselling etc. Or you could try long term Suboxone.
