What is Suboxone Treatment?
Suboxone is an opioid prescription drug used to treat opioid dependence. It can be used as an induction agent to stabilize someone in withdrawal during the medical detoxification process as well as for maintenance treatment to promote recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD).
Suboxone use for treating OUD disorder is not merely substituting one addiction for another, but rather helping people control their previously compulsive and harmful opioid use, allowing them to resume a normal, more healthy life.
