Heroin detox support!

I'm wanting to stop taking Heroin with the help of subutex just wondering what should be the correct dose to start on, I've tried to detox quite a few times but really want to get somewhere this time, I also have been smoking crack each to time I have smoked Heroin and now really want to knock these on the head and move forward with my life. I feel I'm just existing and not living! Any advice/support is greatly appreciated.

You usually start on 2 to 4 mg a day than they increase as your body gets used to it

Thanks for your comment l. And ah I see would that dosage be enough to keep the withdrawals at bay do you think? I guess not to starting on 8mg would be OK then.,
