Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Belbuca is Buprenorphine and it is a better choice than Oxycodone for long term use. Oxycodone can cause addictive properties and dependency. Belbuca is safe and doesn’t provide dependency.
You safely switch from Oxycodone to Belbuca without any concerns.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
