Heavy dependence or addiction to opiates is not something that can be treated overnight. Cold turkey is not an option in dealing with this kind of dependence as dire consequences can result. What is needed is a gradual removal of the dependence through substitution. Substituting another drug that can be more controlled is usually done in cases of opiate addiction.

Suboxone, which is also known as Buprenophine, is used to alleviate dependence upon commonly known opiates. These commonly known opiates are heroin, hydrocordone, Oxycontin, morphine, codeine and fentanyl plus other methadone class drugs.

The drug is a mild pain killer given for pain management as prescribed by doctors to patients with Stenosis or Degenerative Disc Disease. Patients do attest to its effectiveness, saying it is much better than the traditional painkillers like Vicodin. It gives an initial high which later degrades into an out of it phase feeling according to those who have used it for a long time.

Suboxone can be applied either by trans dermal patches, nasal spray or just orally. It can also be applied hypodermically. Its effects are fairly long lasting and can be felt several hours later. That is why some would say that the effects being like heroin, makes this drug a candidate for addiction itself. In essence a sort of addiction transference can occur. It should never be administered to children as it can result to respiratory suppression and death.

Long term usage of this drug for heroin detoxification can result in abnormal responses to stress, inability to accept situations, hair loss, loss of sexual appetite and emotional instability. Long term symptoms due to heavy and continued usage will result in insomnia, drowsiness, digestive disorders, vomiting, nausea, excessive sweating and so on.

Taken together with Xanax, otherwise known as alprazolam, will result in death. Many have also died taking this with alcohol during drug sessions. However, despite the many risks of taking the drug, many still like to abuse it due to it giving a high like grade A heroin. It has adverse reactions to around 844 medicines, with around 261 of these giving near fatal to fatal reactions with it.

This article has given some good baseline information for Suboxone, just in case this drug is prescribed for you in your detox regimen. Always get as much information on whatever medications that will enter your body so you will always be in the best of health possible. Never gamble with your health when it comes down to it and always make an informed decision when you can.
