I can understand your desire to be off the methadone. Subutex can help manage pain in some patients, but it is addictive, the advantage is the withdrawals are easier than methadone or heroin.
I, personally, would not be prone to putting a patient with a history of heroin addiction on any other pain control medication than methadone. The rest have too high of a psychological addiction factor, especially is a person with a past history of opiate addiction.
I question what you mean by methadone being harsh. It is a very stable medication, with good pain control, and minimal mental effects, when compared to other opiates.
I hope you can find what you are looking for.
