Hi bella, Some people stay on subs for years. They may taper down to just a few mgs but stay on for a long time. Some people will stay on a high dose for a long time.
Some folks will just use it for a quick detox for maybe a week.
Then some folks will use it for a half a year or so.
Once some people get straight for awhile and are getting counceling and going to meetings or what ever they will have there Dr. taper dose down and eventually they jump off and can live a straight life.
I don,t think theres any set time limit when it comes to subs.
