What is Suboxone?

Picture
Suboxone is a combination of two drugs, Buprenorphine and Naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist while Naloxone is a pure opioid antagonist.

Buprenorphine's primary function is to deliver small amounts of opioid doses to someone who is addicted to a much stronger opioid. It serves as a way to slowly and gradually wean off the pre-existing addiction, and at the same time reducing the withdrawal symptoms. An agonist stimulates receptors in the brain. Buprenorphine only partially stimulates the receptors, causing the "highs" to be much lower. Buprenorphine is a good first step in recovery from opioid addiction for this reason, as well as the lower risk of it become habit-forming. 

Naloxone, being an opioid antagonist blocks the agonist (Buprenorphine) from getting to the receptors, and can even reverse the effect of the agonist by blocking the signals the receptors are sending to the nervous system. By doing it's job, Naloxone can often trigger withdrawal symptoms for people currently using opiates.

Naloxone has too many risks to be administered alone, therefore it is combined with Buprenorphine. The combination gives the patient a smoother process from weaning off of narcotics and opioids.  The result in the combination of Buprenorphine and Naloxone is Suboxone. 
Suboxone is one of the most abused prescription drugs in the world. ​

Why use Suboxone?

Suboxone itself if an opiate. The irony in using an opiate for opiate addiction has not gone unnoticed. The safest route for an opiate addict is to taper off slowly and gently, diminishing the craving to a bearable point. This makes the patient feel strong enough to overcome the addiction. Opiate dependence is so powerful that it's victims cannot simply stop "cold turkey". Those who try have a very low success rate.
​
Suboxone is used solely for the fact that it seems to be the lesser of two evils! However, it is very easy for Suboxone to become misused and thus causing more of a problem than a solution.
