Before You Look For A Suboxone Memphis Facility

By Melissa Foster


Right now you may be in the middle of recovery from the prolonged use of heroin and opiates as you read this. You want to break free from the dependence on these narcotics so your physician has prescribed for you a suboxone rehabilitation program. This does further necessitate that you search for a suboxone Memphis treatment facility, but before you do go down that road, read on in this article for some background information on the drug.

The drug in question is classified as a mild pain killer. In fact it is a good substitute for the drug Vicodin, a drug used for the alleviation of pain related to stenosis and degenerative disc disorder. Users say that it gives an out of this world high, and many will attest to it being much more effective than Vicodin itself.

Cold turkey removal methods can be done on cigarettes and even drinking sometimes, but not so with high grade narcotic addictions to heroin and related drugs. In this case, going cold turkey can be downright dangerous, and so a gradual dependence replacement therapy is needed, wherein another drug is substituted for the narcotic that one is addicted to over a period of time until dependence is broken. As for this kind of therapy, suboxone is widely used and popular.

It is also known by its generic name Buprenorphine, and used to lessen dependence on methadone type drugs. The kinds of methadone drugs are quite numerous and codeine and heroin are also included. The other kinds of methadone drugs are fentanyl, hydrocordone, and oxycontin.

The drug mostly comes in tablet or pill form, so the most common way by which to administer it to the body will be by oral means. Down through the years as the usage became more common, the way it has been administered has also changed in that now one can have a choice of administration by IV needle, into the nose by nasal spray, or via the skin by a transdermal patch, much like a nicotine patch. It is worthwhile knowing that there are long term effects after each dose.

If one were to take this without being properly prepared or prescribed for it, then one should expect complications in breathing and such. Being the case, it is a dangerous drug to leave lying around young children, who have experienced death when careless parents just leave medications lying around that can very easily accessed.

When this narcotic is taken into the body alongside alcohol intake, be prepared for some very fatal results. As it is much cheaper than the narcotics it is supposed to replace, it is often abused as a cheaper alternative, but a cheaper alternative with the same kind of kick and fatality. Most die in get high sessions using this narcotic with alcohol.

This controlled substance has a recorded 844 interactions with other medications and this should be carefully taken note of. Of all these reactions, over 261 are known to have severe or even fatal reactions. It is by no means a safe drug, and care must be taken in reading the literature and these interactions and precautions taken note of.
