What is Suboxone (Subutex)?
Here at Resolutions Medical Services we assist our patients to detox from opiate based drugs by using the phenomenally revolutionary new medication called buprenorphine. This drug is sold under the trade name of Subutex and Suboxone. Although they are know under these two names, they vary just slightly, but their active ingredient is all the same; buprenorphine.
Because buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, its opioid effects are limited compared with those produced by full opioid agonists, such as oxycodone or heroin. SUBOXONE also contains naloxone, an opioid anatagonist. The naloxone in SUBOXONE is there to discourage people from dissolving the tablet and injecting it. When SUBOXONE is placed under the tongue, as directed, very little naloxone reaches the bloodstream, so what the patient feels are the effects of the buprenorphine. However, if naloxone is injected, it can cause that person to quickly go into withdrawal. SUBOXONE at the appropriate dose may be used to: - Suppress symptoms of opioid withdrawal
- Decrease cravings for opioids
- Reduce illicit opioid use
- Block the effects of other opioids
- Help patients stay in treatment
