What is Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone)?

Suboxone contains a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. An opioid is sometimes called a narcotic. Naloxone is a special narcotic drug that reverses the effect of other narcotic medications.

What is Opioid dependence?

Opioid dependence is a complex health condition that encompasses multiple factors, including social, psychological, and biological elements, and can develop as the brain adjusts to prolonged opioid use. Those who are opioid dependent may continue using opioids despite facing negative consequences.

Opioid dependence is a chronic disease that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It may impact a friend, a co-worker, a spouse, a sibling, or a parent.

According to the 2013 statistics, nearly 2.4 million individuals had abused or were dependent on opioids such as prescription painkillers or heroin.

It's important to understand that opioids can come in the form of prescription painkillers. For instance, Oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl, commonly known by brand names such as OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, and Actiq, are all considered opioids. The illegal drug, heroin, is also an opioid.
