SuboxoneⓇ is a combination of two medications called buprenorphine and naloxone. The team at Longevity Clinic uses SuboxoneⓇ to help people who have addiction problems with opioids, like heroin and certain prescription painkillers.
SuboxoneⓇ is a key component of the medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program for substance abuse, along with behavior modification therapy and counseling. This combination of treatments provides a holistic approach to recovery from addiction.
SuboxoneⓇ treatment comes under the DATA (Drug Addiction Treatment Act) of 2000. This means it’s only available from practices like Longevity Clinic that have a buprenorphine waiver from SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The two medicines in SuboxoneⓇ work by helping to reduce your dependence on opioids so you can overcome your addiction to drugs.
Buprenorphine works by reducing your physical dependence on opioids and helping you to manage your cravings. This drug is an opioid partial agonist, so it gives you less intense feelings of euphoria.
When you start taking SuboxoneⓇ, the buprenorphine effects increase with each dose, then reach a peak where they level off. At this point, even if you raised your dose further, the effects would be the same.
The result is a greatly reduced risk of suffering withdrawal problems as you come off the opioid. You’re also less likely to experience issues with misuse or dependency.
The naloxone in SuboxoneⓇ medication works by blocking the opioid receptors in your brain that drugs like heroin and prescription opioids target. It helps reduce the risk of overdosing.
