Suboxone treatment is an approved treatment for opioid and heroin addiction. Suboxone is a combination of Buprenorphine and Naloxone, and is either in the form of a pill or a film that you place under your tongue to dissolve quickly into the bloodstream.

Suboxone is used primarily in the early stages of addiction treatment. Whether you battle addiction to opioid medications or substances like heroin and fentanyl, Suboxone can be a miracle drug. The main reason that people are scared to quit or can’t quit abusing opiates or heroin is because of the withdrawals. Withdrawals are intense, flu-like symptoms that occur after long periods of drug abuse, and can leave the user almost completely debilitated and in a state where doing even the simplest of things like getting out of bed, going to work, or even going to the bathroom seem like impossible tasks. Suboxone is a great option in combating the negative symptoms of withdrawals.

Suboxone binds to the opioid receptors in the brain and limits the affects that heroin or opiates produce, thus not allowing the user to ‘get high’. This is key when talking about preventing relapses of substance abuse. One of the main reasons you see overdoses in today’s world is that users try to quit, stay clean for a period of time, and then relapse back to using the same drugs, and same amounts, they used before. The body has lost its tolerance to these drugs after just a few weeks of being clean, and their bodies can’t handle the amount of substances it once could, resulting in an overdose. Suboxone, when taken correctly, can limit and even combat an overdose because of the Naloxone in the medication.
