Whew, you scared me. I thought you meant you were taking 32 mg’s of sub a day. I’ve actually seen worse, but anyways, 32 mg’s is plenty to do a short detox, and that’s how they do it in rehabs.
Depending on what dose of what you are on now, you could start at either 2 or 4 mg’s a day, and work your way slowly down to 0.5 mg a day over the course of 7-10 days.
You’ll want some comfort meds too…A sleep aid, like Trazadone and Clonodine (both non addictive, cheap, and easy to get prescribed).
This won;t be totally pain free, but there is no way out pain free, as I’m sure you already know.
