As someone on Bupe, you're very correct with a lot of this post. ORT is not something to be taken lightly. It saved my life, career, and future, but that's because my situation was extreme.
You pop some oxy pills once a week? You're not addicted physically. You don't need bupe, you need support (professional and family, preferably) and a desire to stop.
That said, suboxone was a life saver for me -- but it's still not great to have the orange, citrus handcuffs. I'm on 8mg down from 28mg 1.5 years ago, and it's not been easy.

Well worth it, though.
