Opioid abuse has swept the country, taking many lives along its path from coast to coast and in between. No one is safe abusing opioids. These painkilling drugs often lead to addiction, which requires rehab treatment for lasting sobriety. Today’s accredited rehabs sometimes offer help through medication assisted treatment, using medications like Suboxone and Sublocade.
What is Suboxone?
The FDA approved Suboxone to help people end opioid addiction. This drug enables medication assisted treatment in detox, making detox symptoms easier to manage and far more bearable. Many people gain quick sobriety and move onto rehab in good time, thanks to Suboxone.
Of course, medication assisted treatment alone does not cure addiction. For a real chance of long-term sobriety and safety from relapse, you need therapies, support, and education in addiction rehab.
Suboxone contains buprenorphine and naloxone. These two drugs work through a tablet or film you place under your tongue. The film dissolves and allows the drug to enter your bloodstream.
Either method of using Suboxone helps relieve your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. At the same time, your opioids no longer work if you abuse them. The medication blocks euphoria and other effects of the high from taking place, at all.
What is Sublocade?
Like Suboxone, the FDA approved Sublocade for opioid addiction treatment. This medication helps moderate to severe opioid addiction. You gain prescribed Sublocade for once-monthly injection. This injection contains buprenorphine, one of the ingredients of Suboxone.
Also as with Suboxone, Sublocade helps you end your physical addiction to opioids. The medication keeps the worst symptoms of detox from affecting you. You do not have to use a daily pill, so it is an easy medication to maintain and works well to prevent your opioid high.
Do Suboxone and Sublocade work?
Suboxone and Sublocade help you reach your goals in detox and rehab. But you need therapies, support, and education of rehab to succeed with sobriety. Without these essential elements of accredited treatment, you only return to drug abuse.
Studies prove buprenorphine works to help you through opioid withdrawal symptoms. It takes away your desire to use your drugs, also making the high impossible to gain. So using this medication in either Suboxone or Sublocade helps you focus on your therapies in rehab, instead of suffering cravings and other intense withdrawal symptoms.
