Online Suboxone Treatment for Opioid Addiction
Suboxone is an effective drug used to treat opioid addiction. 2018 data from the National Institute on drug abuse shows that 128 people in the United States die everyday after overdosing on opioids. It is a true epidemic and an American crisis.
What is suboxone?
Suboxone is a combination of two medications: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine works on the same receptors as other opioid agonists such as oxycodone but to a lesser effect. Naloxone is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids.
Suboxone helps by reducing withdrawal symptoms when opioid users are coming off medication or heroin. It also reduces cravings for opioids by acting as an agonist on the brain, so it thinks it has had exposure to an opioid.
