Read Before Looking For A Suboxone Memphis Facility

By Donna Olson


Addiction is never a pretty thing, no matter what anyone says. Many will try to break off from addictions and many will also fail. Currently you may be struggling with an opiate or heroin addiction on your own and your doctor may have even prescribed a suboxone intervention regimen for you. Prior to you jumping onto the bandwagon and registering at the nearest suboxone Memphis facility, read on and finish this article first.

Suboxone is classified as a pain killer, and in small doses can be a good substitute for Vicodin. Vicodin is a medication prescribed for stenosis pain and pain related to degenerative disc diseases. Many who use this drug in lieu of Vicodin say it is a much better alternative, although it does give a sense of being in space and out of it upon initial use.

There are no shortcuts to getting rid of drug addiction, and the cold turkey method is never recommended. Cold turkey may work for some alcohols and cigarettes, but never will it be true for a controlled substance addiction. Drug substitution therapy over a prolong period is quite effective. This is done by substituting a synthetic substance in lieu of the drug one is dependent on until the body is no longer addicted.

The synthetic substance referred to in this therapy is of course suboxone, which is also known as Buprenorphine in pharmaceutical circles. Buprenorphine is effective in dealing with dependence issues related to methadone type of drugs such as fentanyl, hydrocordone, oxycontin, heroin and codeine.

By all means the most common way to ingest this medication is by oral means, as it is mostly manufactured in pill or tablet form. There are however options of taking it into the body via nasal spray preparations, via injection and also by the use of skin or transdermal patch much similar to a nicotine patch.

One should be prepared for this drug physically and also must be prescribed for it as it is a drug that can cause pulmonary and respiratory complications. Due to this, many children should be kept away from it, as quite a few deaths have occurred when children accidentally swallow it due to irresponsible adults leaving the medication lying around.

Any drug, especially those that give strong physical side effects should ever be mixed with alcohol. And this is very true as regards suboxone. When mixed with alcoholic drinks, it may cause seizures and even death. When talking about interactions with other medicines, it will react with about 844 of them, and of this 261 will illicit severe and even fatal reactions. This is a drug that you should be a bit wary off.

In sum this article has discussed some base information that you should consider in your overall final decision. There are of course other things that you need to do some due diligence research on so that you will be confident that you are making the best decision for your health and general recovery overall.
