This is not a one-size-fits-all transition. The appropriate approach depends on dose, stability, history, and the clinical circumstances of the individual patient.
How SuboxoneNYC approaches this question
SuboxoneNYC does not publish a universal protocol on the public site for methadone-to-buprenorphine transitions. The practice evaluates each case individually through physician-led telehealth assessment and continuity-focused planning.
What to have ready
If you are considering this transition, have your current methadone dose, recent treatment history, clinic information, and any prior buprenorphine history available for physician review.
What this page does not promise
It does not promise that every patient is an appropriate candidate for transfer or that every transition can be handled on a preferred timeline. Clinical appropriateness remains central.
