OVERVIEW
What Is Suboxone?
Suboxone is a combination medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat opioid dependence. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings; naloxone is an opioid antagonist included to deter misuse.
Buprenorphine binds to opioid receptors in the brain, reducing withdrawal and cravings without the intense euphoria of full opioid agonists. Taken as prescribed (sublingually), the naloxone has minimal effect — but if injected, it can precipitate withdrawal, which is what deters misuse.
