About Suboxone Medication-Assisted Treatment

Suboxone is a brand-name, prescription medication that has been approved by the FDA to aid in treatment of addiction such as alcohol and opioids. Suboxone contains two ingredients which can reduce urges, withdrawal symptoms, cravings and even the risk of relapse.

How Does Suboxone Work?

As mentioned above, Suboxone contains two ingredients, naloxone and buprenorphine. Naloxone is a medication which helps to reverse the effects of alcohol and opioids on the brain, making the experience less pleasant for the user. Buprenorphine is a medication which blocks receptors in the brain, reducing the cravings and urges a patient may have.

Along with Suboxone treatment, at Clear Horizons Healthcare, we recommend that all of our patients also find a treatment program that can work for them. Counseling, therapy and group-sessions can help you find new ways to cope and even help find the underlying cause of your addictions problems. Those that combine medication-assisted treatment with other addiction services tend to have better success.

How Can I Start Suboxone?

Suboxone can be prescribed by your doctor or a treatment center like Clear Horizons Healthcare. Suboxone can be used at the beginning of treatment along with continuing treatment and recovery.
