The effectiveness of Suboxone in the treatment...

For the past several months I have been receiving a lot of calls and emails from family members about their opiate addicted loved one.

Opiates ranges from heroin, Oxycontin, methadone, vicodin and so on. These inquiries have lead to many questions about another drug that is supposed to help people get off these powerful opiate drugs. The name of that drug is Suboxone.

Iâ€™ve read many articles on the effectiveness, or lack there of, of Suboxone.

The attached link from the December 2010 issue of â€˜Addiction Professionalâ€™ confirms what I have been saying for quite some time.

Although this drug is/can be helpful for very short term use, itâ€™s even more addictive than most people realize.

Opiate addiction is a scourge in my small town. Now the addicts are addicted to soboxone. The ones getting it from clinics sell it to other addicts.
