how does suboxone help with opioid addiction
Suboxone is a medication used to treat opioid addiction. It contains buprenorphine and naloxone, two medications that work together to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it binds to opioid receptors in the brain and produces a milder opioid effect than full agonists like heroin or oxycodone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks the effects of opioids.
