Before You Go Looking For A Suboxone Memphis Facility

By Donna Olson


No one wants to be addicted to anything, much less being addicted to controlled substances. You may be struggling with addiction right now with either opiates and heroin and do need help. In fact your physician may have even suggested a suboxone regimen for you. Thus before you take the final leap into finding a suboxone Memphis facility, read on in this article to know what you are getting yourself into.

Suboxone is classified as a pain killer, and in small doses can be a good substitute for Vicodin. Vicodin is a medication prescribed for stenosis pain and pain related to degenerative disc diseases. Many who use this drug in lieu of Vicodin say it is a much better alternative, although it does give a sense of being in space and out of it upon initial use.

There are no shortcuts to getting rid of drug addiction, and the cold turkey method is never recommended. Cold turkey may work for some alcohols and cigarettes, but never will it be true for a controlled substance addiction. Drug substitution therapy over a prolong period is quite effective. This is done by substituting a synthetic substance in lieu of the drug one is dependent on until the body is no longer addicted.

The synthetic substance referred to in this therapy is of course suboxone, which is also known as Buprenorphine in pharmaceutical circles. Buprenorphine is effective in dealing with dependence issues related to methadone type of drugs such as fentanyl, hydrocordone, oxycontin, heroin and codeine.

As this medication is usually manufactured as a pill or a tablet, the most common way of dosage is by oral means. However, the increasing use of it in the past years in substitution therapy has found more flexibility in administration which can include nasal ingestion by spray, skin application by transdermal patch and even intravenously by needle.

You should be physically able and must have the proper prescription and recommendation from a medical professional prior to you taking this, as it can cause breathing and pulmonary problems. Due to these effects, it has been known to have killed children due to their accidental ingestion of it. Thus adults and parents should always ensure proper storage of medication.

Drinking alcohol while you are on any kind of medication is always a bad idea, and more so when it comes to alcohol plus suboxone. When mixed with alcohol it will cause seizures and even death. Over 844 other medications are also known to interact with it, and of these, 261 will result in severe or fatal reactions. It is by no means a safe drug or medicine. It may be a very good idea to really research into the contraindications of this drug also, so that you will know the safest course to take.

Thus this article has shown some background or base information on the drug that you will be using in your therapy. There will be other considerations that you need to look into and research so that you know that you will be making the best informed decision you can regarding your well being and health.
