A member asked:

How painful is suboxone induction? how long does the patient need to be in wd before getting relief? what can you expect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not painful: Depends how much opioids you are using its uncomfortable but durable within 5 to 7 days induction is best when no drug use for more than 24 hours.
