Suboxone combines buprenorphine and naloxone in one medication for opioid addiction. It relieves withdrawal and cravings, and because buprenorphine's opioid effect levels off at higher doses, the overdose risk is far lower than with full opioids.
In San Diego, Suboxone is prescribed in office based and outpatient settings, so treatment can fit around work and family life. Of San Diego's 29 rehab centers, 16 report buprenorphine with naloxone (Suboxone).

You start after early withdrawal has begun so the medication does not trigger sudden, severe symptoms. A prescriber will time the first dose with you.
How long do people take Suboxone?
Months to years. Evidence favors staying on it while it is helping, and stopping should be a planned, gradual taper with your prescriber.
Do I need counseling along with Suboxone?
Medication works best paired with counseling, and most programs include it. The combination addresses both the physical and behavioral sides of addiction.
