Suboxone is prescribed to help addicts with the physical withdrawal symptoms of opioids. Suboxone eliminates the physical withdrawal symptoms, but it does not eliminate the mental or emotional withdrawal symptoms. But it in the long run, it does help with that somewhat as it decreases the cravings for narcotics.
Suboxone is an opiate in itself. It has to be or else it couldn't stop the withdrawal symptoms. The active ingredient in Suboxone is buprenorphine.
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. Other narcotics are full opioid agonist; thus, its opioid effects are limited. Suboxone also contains naloxone which is an opioid antagonist. The naloxone discourages users from injecting it, because when injected it enters the bloodstream quickly and causes a withdrawal. When dissolved under the tongue as directed, the naloxone enters the bloodstream very slowly so the patient feels the effects of the buprenorphine.
And that is how Suboxone can treat opioid dependency while being an opioid in itself. I know in the beginning that sounds kind of ridiculous but many people find success in Suboxone treatment.
This statement is not correct.
Just like Methadone, Suboxone is an opioid but they do not show up in urine drug tests as an opiate.
I have been taking Methadone for 6 months and have to drug test regularly. Absolutely nothing shows up in my system.
