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.
