What Is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a prescription drug that treats addiction to opioids and opiates like codeine, heroin, and morphine.

The medication combines naloxone and buprenorphine. The latter drug is a partial opioid agonist that attaches to the brain’s opioid receptors to activate the effects of opioids at a reduced level. At the same time, naloxone blocks the opioid-related effects entirely.

When people with opiate addictions consume Suboxone, the combination of medications significantly decreases the withdrawal symptoms they will experience when they no longer take heroin or abuse prescription opioids. Withdrawal symptoms occur because the body needs to adjust and recover to long-term uses of opiates and opioids. Symptoms include:

  • Muscle pains
  • Insomnia
  • Runny nose
  • Anxiety
  • Abdominal cramping
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting

Suboxone also reduces opioid cravings, so our Recovery Clinic uses the medication to help substance abusers wean themselves off their drugs of choice.

Importance of Opioid Addiction Treatment

Suboxone vs. Methadone

Methadone is another opioid that treatment programs use to treat opioid use disorder and chronic pain. It is a controlled substance that has the potential to become addictive and produce serious side effects, like:

  • Heart rhythm issues
  • Seizures
  • Severe stomach pain

The addiction specialists at Emmaus want what is best for our patients, which is why we prefer Suboxone over Methadone. Suboxone is effective but has a lower dependency risk and less severe side effects and withdrawal risks.

Though Suboxone is less habit-forming than methadone, some people can develop a dependence on the medication. Contributing factors to Suboxone dependence include:

  • People who had or currently have narcotics addictions
  • People who do not know about the Suboxone side effects
  • People with heroin addictions who want to avoid withdrawals

How Doctors Administer Suboxone

The physicians at our Recovery Clinic will prescribe the drug to treat opioid dependency and addiction. There are two ways patients can take the medication. The first is a tablet to swallow or a Suboxone film that dissolves under the tongue.

Doctors will carefully administer doses of Suboxone to ensure that the patient has enough of the medication in their body to be effective without becoming habit-forming. Over time, our medical professionals will adjust your Suboxone treatment plan to wean you off all drugs.

Well, I’ve been with them for a few years now and I’m so glad I dialed their phone number, not knowing who I was talking to, crying so hard I couldn’t talk and hoping they didn’t have an attitude or try to make me feel exactly the way I was already feeling, but now feeling like dirt on their shoes. I’ll never forget the Lady who answered and listened without trying to cut me off or rushing off the phone. I felt worthless and that changed before we got off the phone.

Love them all and appreciate everything they have done and continue to do.

People Also Ask

How long does it take to break through Suboxone?
Suboxone contains drugs that will engage the brain’s opioid receptors at a reduced level and prevent you from getting high. Despite its effectiveness as part of MAT for opioid use disorder, abruptly quitting Suboxone will produce the same withdrawal effects as other opioids but without the severity.

It can take two to four days to experience Suboxone withdrawal. The symptoms often peak around the fifth day and stop around the seventh day. However, psychological symptoms can take weeks to dissipate in some cases.

What does Suboxone do to the brain?
When you ingest Suboxone, the buprenorphine within it partially stimulates your brain’s opioid receptors. The partial stimulation can activate the receptors without producing cravings for the drug, euphoric highs, or withdrawal symptoms.

Because the medication also includes naloxone, a complete opioid antagonist, Suboxone will prevent other opioids like Percocet or fentanyl from activating the opioid receptors. It won’t get you high, regardless of how much you take. As a result, you will be less likely to relapse or overdose.

Instead of feeling high, you will feel normal or mildly sedated. It will help you perform everyday activities without misusing drugs.

What are the negative side effects of Suboxone?
Though Suboxone works well for its intended purposes, like all medications, it has side effects. Some are potentially dangerous if you do not adhere to your doctor’s recommended dosage and schedule. Some of the most common negative side effects of Suboxone include:

  • Dizziness
  • Sweating
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Change in heart rate
  • Constipation
  • Fainting
  • Mouth numbness
  • Blurry vision

Severe side effects include:

  • Allergic reaction
  • Low blood pressure
  • Coordination issues

The best way to prevent most side effects is to follow the Emmaus medical team’s directions with the prescription from our Suboxone clinic.

Does Suboxone help with anxiety?
People with opioid use disorder often feel overwhelming stress and anxiety during addiction treatment. They may worry about how they will feel during and after the withdrawal period or wonder how their lives will change after recovering from their harmful habit.

Taking Suboxone can relieve some of the anxiety patients feel because the treatment significantly reduces the adverse effects of opioid withdrawal. With the medication from our Suboxone clinic and additional therapies like counseling and 12-step programs, you will have more confidence about your recovery process.
