Suboxone (Buprenorphine)

There have been cases where opiate addicts have had success with short term use of Suboxone. It is marketed as a miracle drug to provide painless detox from heroin and painkillers. However, if the dosage is not given properly, cross addiction can likely take place. Suboxone is long acting and because of this takes longer to leave the body than opiates. Tapering oneself off of an addictive substance is too difficult to do alone or on an outpatient basis. Summer House provides the security of a caring professional staff who are dedicated to getting you clean and reaching your goals.

Signs of Withdrawal

Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation when it comes to Suboxone. Many opiate addicts see Suboxone as a way to detox with no side effects and try to taper themselves.  All too often the user depends on Suboxone for prolonged periods of time only to discover that they have developed an addiction to the opiate replacement therapy. They may start to experience anxiety, cold or flu symptoms, pain, vomiting, diarrhea, leg restlessness, insomnia, and irritability. Sadly, these symptoms are very similar to the ones they were trying to avoid by using Suboxone in the first place.
