Is Suboxone better than methadone?
No. It’s different, and some people should not take buprenorphine for drug addiction treatment but should take methadone instead. For example, pregnant women and those who suffer from chronic pain should not take Suboxone or Subutex and will fare much better on methadone maintenance treatment. Suboxone works best for to help those who became addicted to prescription pain medication after a short-term bout with pain.
