Suboxone Addiction Treatment Center in California

Suboxone Addiction

Suboxone is a combination of Buprenorphine and Naloxone and is used as a medication to help individuals suffering from opiate addiction.

It is an irony that people often get addicted to the drug which otherwise helps people to get over an addiction. Suboxone, when used as directed by the doctors, acts as an efficient way of weaning someone off opiates without the severe withdrawal symptoms of going cold turkey.

Though Suboxone does not cause the same “high” as other opiates, it effectively suppresses withdrawal and when used in large quantities may even have mind-altering effects. Like every drug, Suboxone abuse also leaves behind a trail which can be helpful in identification of someone having a problem with the drug.

Loss of interest in normal activities
Difficulty maintaining responsibilities such as work and family
Excessive sleepiness or difficulty sleeping

Effects of Suboxone Addiction

Suboxone, when taken in large quantities, has a severe impact on one’s health. It is easy to overdose on Suboxone if someone combines it with other substances, especially alcohol, leading to extreme respiratory problems. Other than that, it has several negative impacts on one’s body.

Here are some of the physical, mental, and emotional side effects of Suboxone abuse:

Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Slurred speech
Poor coordination
Insomnia
Sweating
Depression
Drowsiness
Small pupils
Poor memory
Erratic moods and behavior
Difficulty in breathing

Withdrawal Symptoms of Suboxone

Like any other prescription drug, Suboxone is not a readily available drug. It requires a proper prescription from a registered medical practitioner. This makes it difficult to procure the drug, and an addicted individual may have to stop taking it until the time they figure out a new way to get the drugs. During this phase when an addicted person is unable to take the drug, Suboxone withdrawal will take place. The severity of withdrawal will vary from person to person and depend on the quantity of the drug consumed.

The withdrawal symptoms may include:

Nausea and vomiting
Muscle and body aches
Insomnia or excessive sleepiness
Stomach problems
Irritability
Anxiety
Sweating and chills
Headache
Inability to concentrate
Depression
