Aight here’s a paragraph of what can be assumed to be may be the popular 1-week-detox-off-of-your-opiates-using-suboxone method from eHow.com: (not a perfectly authoritative websites but maybe can give u an idea on the dosage schedule I guess – really the first paragraph is the one that will interest u most maybe if you’re still thinkin about doin this)

Suboxone Dosage
Suboxone should only be used with a doctor’s prescription. He will most likely prescribe you the recommended dosage of 6 mg the first day, 8 mg the second day, 10 mg the third day, 8 mg the fourth day, 4 mg the fifth day, 4 mg the sixth day and 2 mg the seventh day. During this time, the patient should have successfully withdrawn from the opiate medication.

Symptoms of Opiate Withdrawal
Even with Suboxone to assist in opiate withdrawal, a person may still experience side effects. These side effects may include insomnia, sweating, difficulty sleeping, agitation, vomiting, goosebumps, shaking, runny nose, diarrhea and nausea. If you experience these symptoms after one week of being only on Suboxone, contact your doctor to remain on Suboxone for a longer amount of time.

Making Withdrawal Easier
Even with the help of Suboxone, you should have a doctor nearby to monitor your symptoms. Keep lots of food in the house that you enjoy eating, and plenty of water bottles. The more water you drink, the sooner the opiates will flush out of your system. Keep blankets nearby as your temperature will fluctuate throughout your withdrawal. Do not prevent yourself from throwing up–anything that your body feels it needs to do is appropriate for your withdrawal. If you are running a fever of over 103 F or you cannot keep food down, go to the emergency room.
