Why Do Doctors Push Suboxone For Months When It Beats Opiate Sickness In Just 5 Days ?
why do doctors push suboxone for several months when it beats the opiate sickness when you take it for 5 days... then you can walk away from the suboxone without getting addicted, however doctors get people hooked on it by over prescribing it which seems almost intentional.

Thank you for asking!
Opioid dependence is not that easy to come out from.WHat 5 days you are talking about are induction of suboxone therapies of course it relieve the symptoms of withdrawal and does not let them come to get opioids out of the system but their maintenance for unobserved period of time is advised and recommended to prevent any withdrawal calamities.I suggest you seek an addiction medicine specialist and get it straight with them
I hope it helps
