SUBOXONE

It’s time we talk about Suboxone abuse!

SUBOXONE EXPLAINED

Suboxone is an opioid Buprenorphine and naloxone medication that is prescribed to those suffering from opioid and opiate addiction. The medication has proven effective with reducing opioid addiction as it often blocks the desired effects of opioids such as pain relief and euphoria. Suboxone has helped several patients break their dependency on opiates and opioid derivatives altogether (heroin, morphine and codeine) but in doing so, it has created another problem – the problem of dependence and addiction on it as a substance.

There is a dark side to the use of Suboxone as an opioid analgesic. Suboxone addiction has become a real problem for the opiate addicts who are looking to repair their lives. The medication that is supposed to provide healing often times becomes the new addiction.

Addiction to Suboxone is real and the epidemic is growing.

Suboxone is a combination of two different drugs: buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist) and naloxone (a pure opioid antagonist). Buprenorphine acts by delivering much reduced opioid doses to a patient who is addicted to a stronger opioid. It provides a way for the client to be gradually weaned off their pre-existing addiction, while minimizing the opioid withdrawal symptoms that would come from the process. Naloxone on the hand blocks off the desired effects of opiate use such as pain relief and euphoria.
