Rationale:
1. It is not necessary for the child to wean off the opioid over 24 months.
2. Weaning over 24 hours is too quick, and will cause withdrawal symptoms to occur.
3. Slowly weaning the child off of the opioid over 24 weeks will prevent withdrawal symptoms.
4. Weaning over 24 days will cause symptoms of withdrawal.
