None: Suboxone is used for the treatment of opioid addiction not for methamphetamines detox. There is no fda approved treatment for detoxing off of methamphetamines. Since opioids have a different mechanism of action then methamphetamines, Suboxone will likely not work for detoxing off of meth.

Suboxone: This should not be used for meth withdrawal. Suboxone is for opioid withdrawal.

WRONG DRUG: Suboxone will not help in this case and it is not clear what medication helps with meth. Not sure if naloxone helps at all with meth cravings.
