"More manageable" is a very creative way of saying less deadly, I congratulate you on your turn of phrase.
In all seriousness though, buprenorphene has a number of benefits aside from being difficult to overdose on. It lasts much longer and lacks the euphoric effects of other opioids. People on buprenorphene tend to get their life back together, and if you're truly concerned about getting someone off opioids that's a much better starting point.
