Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are wondering how long suboxone will stay in your body. The component in suboxone, buprenorphine will last 7-14 days in your body. It has a half life of 20-44 hours. This means it will take at least 20-44 hours before half of the drug is metabolized and removed from the body. So if someone has been taking suboxone for a long time it may take 7-14 days to completely be removed for the body.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
