What To Know From Suboxone Doctors

By Angela Kelly


The high use of drugs has highly affected the proper functioning of most people today. With most of the drug addicts deciding to stop their use of the drugs, the use of Suboxone Doctors especially for people addicted to opioids has become a suitable option. The practitioners offer drugs that tend to make the rehabilitation easier and ensure that the patient receives adequate psychological counsel.

To increase the effectiveness of the suboxones commonly known as buprenorphine, it is combined with the naloxone drug. The two which have the partial opioid agonist and opioid blocker traits tend to work efficiently on the brain so as to reduce the brain impulses that promotes cravings thus help manage the addiction of the patient through reducing frequency of cravings.

The buprenorphine is often combined with other drugs used in rehabilitation to help reduce the withdrawal symptoms caused by the drug. A common example of a drug that causes severe symptoms of withdrawal is the naloxone which is crushed and snorted by the rehabilitating addict. The buprenorphine is thus mixed with the crushed naloxone to reduce its symptoms.

The drug is usually administered as either a 2mg or 8mg tablet or film strip. The film strip is usually placed under the tongue where it dissolves. The medication is taken only once a day as it is a long acting medication. After taking the medication, the patient should not eat, drink or smoke anything within 30 minutes of taking it as it affects how the drug is absorbed.

The drug, however, does not work effectively for tobacco users. After taking the medications, the patients will often feel calm and relaxed. However, there are also some negative side effects of the drug example irritability, feeling jitterish, insomnia, shakiness, and constipation. The medication can also be addictive although it is used with naloxone to reduce the probability of inducing addiction.

Once the patient has passed the withdrawal stage, they can then be rehabilitated more easily without the drug if possible. The long term use of the drug is highly prohibited as it tends to create an issue that is similar to those in heroin addicts. Some of them include anxiety, gastrointestinal issues, depression, insomnia, confusion as well as a strain on finances and relationships.

The medication has been highly noted for its help in helping addicts rehabilitate. However, some of the negative traits of the drugs have also been identified. For example, many people have died due to overdosing the medication while others tend to use buprenorphine and become addicts. This has resulted in many debates on whether to continue or discontinue its use and production.

When trying to rehabilitate an addict, the medical expert will try to ensure that the addict is treated for both the physical and mental issue that resulted from the addiction. The buprenorphine is used to provide the physical healing while counselling is necessary for mental healing. Through counselling, the patient is also able to overcome some of the psychological issues that came up due to the drug abuse.
