Opioid addiction and dependency can be incredibly difficult to overcome without adequate support and professional help. As such, if you are dealing with opioid addiction or dependence, you may find Suboxone treatment to be of significant benefit! While Suboxone is most effective when used in conjunction with some form of behavioral therapy, it can drastically reduce withdrawal symptoms from opioid addiction or dependency. At Florida MedCare in Celebration, FL, our medical providers would be pleased to provide you with suboxone treatment if you are dealing with opioid addiction or dependence.

What is Suboxone used for?


Suboxone is a medication used to prevent the painful and debilitating withdrawal symptoms of opioid addictions.

The active ingredient in Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist-antagonist. As such, the active ingredient works similarly to other opioids but does not produce any euphoric effect. It also occupies every opioid receptor in the brain. In this way, active ingredients both block the effects of any opioids that an individual takes while on the active ingredient and prevent withdrawal symptoms of not taking those opioids. Moreover, the active ingredient also has a ceiling effect, wherein the effects of the drug plateau after a certain amount, reducing the risk of patient misuse or dependency.

The addition of active ingredients in Suboxone is used as a safety measure to prevent misuse. Naloxone only becomes active in the body if it is injected rather than taken sublingually, or dissolved under the tongue, as it is prescribed. If naloxone is injected, it would cause instant and intense withdrawal symptoms in someone who is dependent on opioids. As such, it is essential to take Suboxone only as prescribed.

Can Suboxone be used for chronic pain addiction?


Suboxone can be used to help any individual who is dependent on or addicted to recreational opioid drugs, such as heroin, as well as chronic pain medication. While opioids have powerful pain relief properties, they are also highly addictive. As such, it is common for individuals who experience chronic pain due to various conditions to become addicted or dependent on prescribed opioids for pain relief. In such cases, Suboxone can be a highly beneficial solution to help individuals recover from opioid dependence or addiction.

What are the benefits of Suboxone?


Suboxone can provide many benefits to individuals who are dealing with opioid dependence or addiction. Unlike alternative addiction treatments, such as methadone, Suboxone does not need to be administered at a specialized clinic but can be prescribed by a licensed medical doctor—this is primarily due to the reduced risk of overdose or misuse of Suboxone. Some other benefits of Suboxone include the following:

• Can reach an effective dosage earlier than alternatives
• Diminished effects of physical dependence on opioids, including fewer withdrawal symptoms and cravings
• Fewer side effects than alternatives
• Longer acting than alternatives

Does Suboxone help with pain?


Suboxone is only approved in the United States for treating opioid addiction, as opposed to treating chronic pain. With that being said, the active ingredients have significant analgesic effects that can help relieve pain for individuals who are already dependent or addicted to opioids. In this way, while Suboxone cannot be prescribed for chronic pain alone, it can help reduce pain for opioid-dependent or -addicted individuals.
