Have been taking hydrocodone for ten years due to a car accident. wouldn't it be safer to just take suboxone instead of six to eight hydros a day?

Better yet....: Better to use Suboxone to detox. Maybe don't even need opiates at this point.

Opiates are a danger: Suboxone, a combination buprenorphine, norbuprenorphine, and Naloxone, as low as 16 mgs a day, could replace all your opiates. When used as part of a program of counseling and dosage reduction, and coupled with more reasonable pain management, they can be life saving and keep you from an uncontrollable burden of opiate addiction. These are opiates, but in a program, much safer.
