In the Cochrane meta-analysis, fixed-dose studies found neither significant difference on retention in treatment between medium dose buprenorphine to medium dose methadone, nor between high-dose buprenorphine and high-dose methadone. In contrast, flexible dosing, which describes doses increased as needed to

Methadone can be addictive at high doses. But a person on methadone maintenance is not likely to become addicted under proper medical supervision and correct dosing. Technically, someone on methadone maintenance is physically dependent on methadone.
The average daily dosage of methadone was 45.8 mg in the moderate-dose group and 89.5 mg in the high-dose group. The authors conclude that high-dose methadone leads to a significantly greater
high doses ( mg) and not reduce their dose, particularly when they are still using illicit opioids. High doses of methadone may be associated with
– High dose ( 100 mg/d methadone). – Drug interactions that increase methadone exposure through inhibition of methadone metabolism. Eg
