There have been a lot of posts latetly from many users beginning methadone, suboxone or other Opiate replacement and maintenance treatments.
I wanted to stress the importance of recovery care during this time to increase success, and to an extent make withdrawals easier! And why and how it works. The article hints to suboxone primarily, but upon reading you will find that this doesnt only occur in patients on replacement therapy.
This explains why the majority of those tapering off suboxone and methadone with success have had an active aftercare program in place for their success.
