Suboxone is a proven and effective medication available for qualified doctors to prescribe to patients who are receiving help to treat opioid addictions. But, for a doctor or other medical professional to prescribe suboxone, they first must have met specific requirements and certifications.
Suboxone has become one of the leading opioid replacement medications available today. It continues to gain popularity in the treatment community as a reliable treatment option for those struggling with opioid addiction and its challenging side effects.
The most common uses of suboxone are pain management resources during medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs. The drug has been shown to weaken the cravings and urges to keep using and significantly lessen the intensity of withdrawal symptoms during the initial detox process.
Suboxone is made from the combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Both of these ingredients serve an essential purpose and together create the suboxone medication. It has been seen to help so many people during their journey to becoming sober and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The specific purposes of each of these elements include:
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist and is included as one of the ingredients to make injecting suboxone to get high extremely non-appealing. If someone addicted to opioids injects suboxone, the naloxone in the drug cancels out the opioid high they were seeking. It will likely also send them into a state of precipitated withdrawal.
This portion is known as a partial opioid agonist. This means that it triggers opioid receptors, but nowhere near the same levels that abusing certain opioids like heroin can cause. So naturally, buprenorphine releases just enough opioid-causing effects to mitigate the withdrawal symptoms without providing the dangerous and addictive high that addicts chase.
