Has anyone been on suboxone which worked great and relasped and it no longer helps with withdrawls?

Has anyone been on suboxone which worked great and relasped and it no longer helps with withdrawls? I started using again and when I wanted to stop I would just use the suboxone and after 25 to 30 times of detoxing with suboxone now it doesnt help at all. Is there a reason for this? Has anyone else had this problom? Maybe I'm not waiting long enough before I take the suboxone, I usually wait 24 hours, but even if I took the suboxone to early wouldnt it eventually start working if kept taking it and didnt go back to the heroin? Even 4 or 5 days into my detox I am still taking the suboxone and still  no relief from the withdrawls. I tried taking more and less I tried everything I could think of. I just do not understand it because it worked like a maricle every other time I took it.

By aftercare I did mean na but I was keeping with na traditions by  not promoting. If he asked then I would have told him what worked for me.

AFTERCARE!!! Get some counseling and join NA. After 25+ times it means that you haven't gotten to the root of why you feel you need to use.

Theres really no good answer that I can think of. The people I know that used sub and had positve results combined it with aftercare to have a chance of not using again. I dont think its meant to just get you thru wds so you can continue to keep using. If its not working now then its probably just holding off wds till you use again.
