When you are receiving a stable daily dose of SUBOXONE and your condition is considered stable (your withdrawal symptoms are relieved and your cravings are decreased or are gone altogether), your doctor may decide to see you less often

You and your doctor will discuss counseling options that meet your needs.

Your doctor may request urine samples from time to time.  Some doctors find urine testing a helpful part of treatment because they can use the results to verify the absence of opioids in your system and thus evaluate the effectiveness of your SUBOXONE dose.  You can talk with your doctor about the role of urine testing in SUBOXONE treatment.

During your ongoing maintenance treatment, your doctor will want to know if you experience any withdrawal symptoms.  If you do, your dose may need to be adjusted
