What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a medication that is used to treat opioid addiction.

It is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, two drugs that work together to help people manage their addiction. Suboxone can be an effective treatment for opioid addiction, but it is important to understand how it works and what the risks and benefits are.

Suboxone works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain. This helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier for people to stay in recovery. Suboxone also blocks the effects of other opioids, so if someone takes it and then uses an opioid, they typically will not get high.

Suboxone is a safe and effective treatment for opioid addiction. However, it is important to note that it is not a cure. People who take Suboxone must also participate in other forms of treatment, such as counseling and support groups. Suboxone can help people to stay in recovery, but it is not a substitute for other forms of treatment.

Recovery Care provides counseling at every visit at no extra charge. Most of our counselors have a master’s degree in social work, and have an strong affinity for counseling people who’ve become addicted to opioids. Combined with Suboxone, this private therapy is a critical component for increasing quality of life and avoiding relapse.
