Suboxone helps individuals dealing with substance dependency overcome cravings and the worst of withdrawal symptoms. It combines buprenorphine and naloxone and is a member of the opioid antagonist group that works in opposition to common substances such as oxycodone, morphine, and heroin. People dealing with addiction who are concerned with withdrawal symptoms can get support during the early stages of opioid withdrawal from a suboxone prescription.
Since Suboxone’s formulation, many addiction specialists opt for prescribing it over methadone because it’s less habit-forming. Many people dealing with addiction also find that Suboxone has fewer side effects than methadone.
As a Schedule III drug, Suboxone has less risk of misuse than methadone. It can also be prescribed online through a board-certified addiction specialist such as Pain and Addiction Medicine Inc.
Substance-dependent individuals can only receive methadone from a SAMHSA-certified methadone clinic. The disruption of visits to a methadone clinic and supervision from a care professional can make it difficult to overcome addiction if you have a family or job. Suboxone treatment from an online provider is easy to incorporate into a busy lifestyle.
There’s no single way to overcome substance dependence. Most people get the greatest benefit from a medication-assisted treatment that includes an opioid antagonist and supportive care and therapy.
However, Suboxone isn’t always the ideal medication, and some individuals don’t experience its benefits. Working with an experienced addiction specialist ensures you fight the right combination of medication and therapy for a MAT that works for you.
Before deciding that Suboxone isn’t the right medication for your MAT, it’s crucial to work with your care provider to get the correct dosage for your withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Rather than trying to tough it out during withdrawal, Pain and Addiction Medicine Inc is a partner you can reach out to for help in correcting the dosage for stability in your recovery.
Contact your care provider if you experience these signs your Suboxone dose is too low:
Often when a dose is too low, usually less than 10 milligrams, patients experience withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone continues to provide benefits after the initial stages of withdrawal, providing a sturdy foundation for ongoing success in recovery.
Suboxone has proven effective not only in helping patients overcome opioid addiction but also in treating chronic pain. Opioid pain treatment can lead to misuse and substance dependency. Instead of treating chronic pain with oxycodone, some individuals with chronic pain lasting more than six months experience benefits from a Suboxone prescription.
Pain treatment with Suboxone provides several benefits over opioids, including:
If patients haven’t experienced pain relief with their current Suboxone dose, a higher amount may provide greater benefits.
