Suboxone is a prescription medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat opioid dependence. Buprenorphine reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while naloxone prevents misuse by blocking opioid effects if injected. Suboxone is effective in helping people transition away from opioids, but it must be used under medical supervision due to the risk of dependency and potential side effects, including headache and nausea. Patients in Suboxone treatment are monitored closely to manage dosing and minimize withdrawal. It is often part of a comprehensive recovery plan that includes therapy and support.
