Naloxone, an opioid agonist, blocks the effects of opioids on the mind and body. As a result, not only is an individual free from the upsetting and uncomfortable symptoms that come with withdrawal, but he or she is also relieved of nagging drug cravings that often cause individuals to continue to use opioids.

How It Works and Is It Safe?

Suboxone, a prescription medication that is classified as a partial opioid agonist, is comprised of both buprenorphine and naloxone.

Working as a partial opioid agonist on its own, buprenorphine triggers receptors in the brain that are activated by the abuse of opioids, however a high is not created. Therefore, an individual is alleviated from cravings and painful withdrawal symptoms that would generally be present if Suboxone was not being taken.

oxone is effective in providing treatment for opioid addiction. Those who have utilized Suboxone within a medication assisted treatment program have reported success when it comes to decreased withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings.

Unlike opioids, Suboxone does not create the feeling of euphoria that is chased by most substance abusers. As a result, abuse of this drug is unlikely. It is also important to note that should an individual abuse Suboxone, he or she will be unable to get high like he or she would if other opioids (like OxyContin or Vicodin) were being abused.
