What is Suboxone?
2

• The process of detoxification is very unpleasant.
  Thats why drug rehab centers often use
  medication during the detox process to make it
  more manageable for the recovering addict. Some
  treatment centers in Florida use a drug called
  Suboxone to assist with withdrawal.

• Suboxone is a combination of two different drugs
  used to treat opioid addiction buprenorphine and
  naloxone. Its most commonly used in the
  treatment of opioid addiction. Naloxone reduces
  the effects that addicts would get if they were
  to take their drug of choice while under the
  effects of the medication.

4

• The buprenorphine is an opioid medication that
  relieves the cravings that addicts experience for
  opioids without providing the drug high that will
  trigger their addiction. The combination of
  medications removes the incentive to relapse.

5

• Because Suboxone is an opioid itself, it has a
  potential for abuse. Application of the drug must
  be strictly regimented and overseen to ensure
  that recovering addicts do not transfer their
  addiction on to the medication.

6

• At the end of treatment, clinicians may have to
  wean the patient off the drug slowly to avoid the
  withdrawal symptoms that it was originally meant
  to lessen or prevent.

7

• The dosage depends on the severity of the
  addiction as well as the size of the patient. One
  benefit of Suboxone is that it can be prescribed
  by a doctor and doesnt require going to
  substance abuse treatment centers that specialize
  with the drug, such as a rehab clinic. However,
  not every pharmacy carries the drug.

8

• Those with moderate hepatic impairment may suffer
  from precipitated withdrawal from the naloxone.
  These people may be transferred to straight
  buprenorphine treatment. Patients are required to
  have regular blood tests during Suboxone
  treatment to evaluate liver function.

9

• Suboxone has the potential to cause liver
  problems, so isnt recommended for people who
  have pre-existing liver conditions. In fact,
  people who have severe hepatic impairment
  shouldnt take it at all, and a doctor may not
  recommend it for people who have moderate hepatic
  impairment.
