Suboxone is a prescription medication used in treating those addicted to Opioids, illegal or prescription. It blocks the Opiate receptors and reduces a person’s urges while helping reverse the effects of Opioids. It also prevents withdrawal symptoms associated with an Opioid addiction.
Many people use Suboxone at the start of treatment, as well as in continuing treatment and recovery. While Suboxone can help you manage the symptoms of withdrawal that come from quitting Opioids, it’s important to have a treatment program. Counseling and therapy can help you target your underlying reason for Opioid use and find new ways to cope with pain and stress.
