Suboxone treatment is now an extremely convenient remedial option for opiate addicts so that they can reduce drug addiction. Though suboxone (Buprenorphine and Nalaxone), itself can be  considered to be a drug of opiate category, yet, recently the physicians treating the opioid addicts  are using suboxone therapy to get promising recovery records.

Methadone and naltrexon are also similar kind of drugs as buprenorphine. FDA approved the use of buprenorphine in 2002 for treating drug addicts in U.S. This medication has many benefits, than other such drugs that are used in this kind of treatments.  It diminishes opioid cravings in patients and do not allow them to reach that euphoric state induced by harmful drug dosages. Suboxone treatment clinic Taunton worked with a number of patients who needed immediate help and the results are quite desirable.

Suboxone consists of mainly two drugs- buprenorphine and nalaxone. It is available in two dosage strengths –

  • ·        2mg buprenorphine with 0.5 mg naloxone
  • ·        8mg buprenorphine with 2mg naloxone

The usage of buprenorphine may greatly increase the effect of other medicines and that may cause extreme numbness or dizziness. Mothers under Suboxone Doctor Taunton are advised not to breast-feed their babies. Irregular heartbeats, stomach pain, headache, mood swings, vomiting, constipation, problem in concentration, redness and numbness of mouth are some usual side-effects of suboxone drugs. Medical assistance must be immediately sought if side-effects like shallow breathing, hallucinations, fainting occur in a patient.

Suboxone is a controlled medication. It’s a classified schedule three (III) prescription drug. Still, it may cause physical or psychological dependence.  So it is mandatory to follow instructions from medical experts or a specialized doctor who works in this field.
