The main concern is actually the Naloxone, since that is what neutralizes opiates to prevent anyone abusing them, while they are under treatment with the Suboxone.

Naloxone actually has a fairly short half-life of only a little over an hour and it takes approximately 5 to 6 half-lives for something to be eliminated from the body, so it would be gone in about 6 to 7 hours.

The Buprenorphine, which is the narcotic ingredient in Suboxone actually has a very long half-life of about 72 hours, so you'd be looking at about 360hours, or 15 days, before it is fully processed out of your body.

I am on 6 mgs of suboxone a day. I have recently started having a lot of health issues which all my Dr's say I need pain meds for. I am suppose to start taking norco 5's soon but they are only starting me on one three times a day. That worries me because suboxone is much stronger than norco 5's three times a day. I am worried that once I switch from the subs to the norcos they wont help at all and I might end up having withdrawls because the norcos wont be strong enough. Has anyone had any experience like this? Could someone please tell me how I should do this? Any advice would be much appreciated.
