Medications for Treating Substance Use Disorders and Addiction Recovery
Suboxone
Suboxone is a combination medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, eases urges and withdrawal indicators but without the similar high that comes with other opioids. Naloxone is an opioid opposite in action. It blocks opioid effects if Suboxone is injected, deterring misuse. These two, when combined, aid in handling opioid reliance. This goes along with a thorough care plan that involves counseling and behavioral therapies! .
