Before You Use Suboxone In Your Heroin Detox

By Martha Reynolds


Nobody wants to be addicted to anything, whether it be life threatening or not. In the case of heroin addiction, this is one that one can very well do without it if one is already very dependent on the drug. If you are in Miami, Fl, right now you may be looking at some heroin detox centers to assist you with your opiate dependence. Read on in this article to see information on how Suboxone is used as a replacement drug in heroin addiction treatments.

Heroin dependence cannot be gotten rid of overnight. Many have tried to go cold turkey and with sometimes dire consequences. Gradual reduction of dependence on this opiate is what is needed. One way to do this is to replace the drug slowly with another so that addiction is slowly removed on the original drug.

The moderate path of breaking down opiate addition or dependence has been done through the use of Suboxone, or generically known as Buprenophine. It is used to alleviate dependence upon opiates such as hydrocordone, heroin, Oxycontin, morphine, fentanyl and codeine plus other methadone type drugs.

This drug is a mild painkiller and mostly prescribed for Stenosis or Degenerative Disc Disease pain for short term pain management regimens. Those who use it say it is much more effective than traditional painkillers like Vicodin, and it gives an initial high that lasts for quite a while which later phases into an out of phase feeling.

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.

Usage in the long term will result in loss of sexual appetite, loss of hair, emotional instability, inability to accept situations and abnormal responses to stress. Continued heavy usage results in nausea, vomiting, digestive disorders, drowsiness, excessive sweating, insomnia and many others.

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.
