A member asked:
What is better for detoxing from heroin, methadone or suboxone, while 6 months pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Suboxone: Suboxone (buprenorphine) has an improved safety profile compared to methadone. Methadone has a very unpredictable elimination half-life in the body, and therefore, a higher risk profile.
