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.

Heavy dependence or addiction to opiates is not something that can be treated overnight. Cold turkey is not an option in dealing with this kind of dependence as dire consequences can result. What is needed is a gradual removal of the dependence through substitution. Substituting another drug that can be more controlled is usually done in cases of opiate addiction.

And this substitution of another drug in place of heroin is done with Suboxone. The drug is a synthetic one and generically known as Buprenophine. The same synthetic drug is also used to get rid of addiction to other opiates such as Oxycontin, morphine, hydrocordone, codeine, fentanyl and other methadone type substances.

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.

Many people have died when mixing it with alcohol during drug sessions, since they say that it has a high similar to high grade heroin. Due to this effective high, many still abuse it since it is more accessible than its illegal counterpart. When taken together with medications like Xanax, generically known as alprazolam, it will result in death. It has fatal reactions with 261 of 844 known drugs that have adverse reactions with it. It is something that should not be trifled with.

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.
