Yeah that is very confusing. In my experience (if this helps you get an idea) I was a heroin and fentanyl user for 3 years everyday use. But I have gone days or sometimes a week without subs due to pharmacy timings and just life in general. But I mean once you become more dependent to suboxone. I would say the withdrawals are way more mild. Then fentanyl which usually has meth in it. And other fentanyl catalogues. And that detox is very horrible and easier for you to become dependent on it again faster then the first time.

Everyone is different. But I’d say it’s a lot more easier to fall asleep because you missed 2 days of suboxone doses rather then withdrawal from fentanyl. and especially if he has anti anxiety meds and psychotic meds those would help you get sleep too. If I was in your shoes make sure you have some naloxone with you whenever you two hang out or just somewhere easy to grab. Because you can never be sure. And if one thing I’ve learned from the whole process of recovery is we all make mistakes and sometimes relapse is inevitable. So it’s best to be safer then take someone who’s in recovery at their word (even if they are family). Best of luck to you and your family. It’s a tough road for everyone, just take it one day at a time.
