What is Suboxone?
One of the medications we utilize is Suboxone. Suboxone is a medication that combines two other medications – Buprenorphine and Naloxone. This is one of the top medications used for medication-assisted treatment for opioid addiction on the Treasure Coast..
When you take Suboxone it works by binding to the same receptors in the brain that other opioids use. Other common opioids like morphine, oxycodone, heroin, and fentanyl are very dangerous when taken on the street. Overdoses are becoming very common and using Suboxone will dramatically reduce these risks. When taking medication, it blocks the receptor’s ability to absorb the other substances. Suboxone also dramatically reduces cravings for other drug use.

Suboxone is two medications combined
The first is buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. A partial opioid agonist delivers a very small opioid dose to a patient. This is greatly reduced from a full opioid agonist which fully stimulates the opioid receptors. This medication provides a gradual path for the client to be slowly weaned off other medications and minimize the withdrawal symptoms. This makes buprenorphine a good first step in the Medication-Assisted Treatment process.
The second medication in Suboxone in Naloxone.
Naloxone is what is called an opioid antagonist. This means it will shut down the ability for the receptor to accept outside opiates and opioids. Blocking the agonist from binding to the receptor.
Naloxone can initiate withdrawal symptoms in individuals if taken too early
Patients who use opiates or opioids chronically can develop dangerous symptoms which can lead to respiratory failure and seizures. It is very important to consult an experienced doctor before taking Suboxone.
