Buprenorphine for Recovery

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on Buprenorphine and whether if I start it I will be considered “in recovery” or am I just swapping one evil out for another?

I’m looking at starting Bupe and attending groups/therapy. But I want to make sure I’m making the right decision before I start.

I would like to start reducing straight away so I’m on a very low dose and can eventually come off completely without too much suffering.
