Suboxone Addiction Treatment Options

Understanding Suboxone and Opioid Recovery

Three million U.S. citizens have a history of or are currently living with an opioid use disorder. This health concern impacts an estimated 16 million individuals around the world. With the impact that the opioid epidemic has had, there are a number of treatment approaches, including medications that can be used.

For individuals living with opioid use disorder, a common recommendation is a combined approach of therapy and psychotropic medications. Psychotropic medications can be used to control symptoms associated with opioid use disorder, including cravings.

Therapy is a great resource that can introduce tools and skills that can be used to support you in your recovery. Addiction treatment programs can provide you with dual-diagnosis treatment if you have been living with other mental health concerns. This can include depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, and grief.

What is Suboxone?

Suboxone is a form of buprenorphine that is used to treat opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine is an opioid, so there is a risk of abuse. Prescription pain medications and heroin are commonly abused opioids. Suboxone comes as a film that you place under your tongue until it is dissolved.

When taken properly, suboxone can help decrease withdrawal symptoms, including cravings. Additionally, it can decrease safety concerns in the event of an overdose. Your prescribing physician will tailor your suboxone dose for you so that it meets your needs. This includes the length of time that you take suboxone.

Choosing the right suboxone drug rehab center will have a lasting impact on your recovery. With detoxification, inpatient rehab programming, and outpatient treatment options, we can support you during each step of your recovery. Call SOBA today to learn for yourself why we are a name you can trust in your recovery!

Is Suboxone Addictive?

Suboxone does come with a risk of misuse and abuse. Abuse can occur among individuals who do not have a prescription themselves. In many cases, this includes individuals taking suboxone without doctor supervision to ease some of the discomforts they experience from opioid withdrawal. This is not a recommended approach, as medical supervision is important with prescribed medications.

Physical dependency can occur in individuals who take suboxone on a regular basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms. In these situations, abstinence from suboxone becomes very challenging.

Since suboxone is an opioid, there is a risk of overdose when taken incorrectly. This can occur when someone is taking the medication without proper medical guidance and surpasses their body’s dosage limit.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Suboxone Misuse?

As with any prescribed medication, if someone is abusing prescribed suboxone they are not taking it as their doctor intended. This can mean that they are taking higher, or lower, doses than they are prescribed. Or, they are not allowing the needed amount of time to pass in between each dose. Regardless, this can make you run out of your medication before your next refill which can lead to purchasing the medication illegally.

Some of the signs associated with suboxone abuse include:

• Being tearful
• Dilated pupils
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
• Fever
• Sweating
• Muscle aches
• Increased blood pressure
• Slurred speech
• Drowsiness

Are There Treatment Options for Suboxone Addiction?

The treatment option that is best for you will be dependent on the severity of your misuse of suboxone. Detox is often needed for individuals who have been abusing suboxone because you have medical supervision as your body adjusts to the natural changes in recovery. This can be an uncomfortable, and even painful process, that can often benefit from medical intervention.

Inpatient and outpatient treatment options can provide you with valuable knowledge and tools for your recovery. Many find that being in an outpatient treatment program is helpful in early recovery because they have a safe place to talk about their challenges and their successes.

For individuals who have concerns about their home environment, sober living options can provide you with a safe, encouraging, and sober environment.
