Ask him: Some docs won't do the maintenance but others will; your thoughts are reasonable and if he won't maintain you than another doctor will.

Go online!: There are websites you can go on and ask doctors who are credentialed to prescribe Suboxone for maintenance. Most are willing to do so if you ask. Good luck!
