Im a current methadone patient. How can I switch to Buprenorphine?
Buprenorphine may not be the best treatment for patients who are currently enrolled in a methadone treatment program, as the two drugs are very different. Buprenorphine is safer and more convenient than methadone for some patients, but if your current treatment is working well you may want to consider staying on your existing program. Talk to your physician for more information and a personalized recommendation.
