Buprenorphine
"I have been on Suboxone for going on six years treating long term opiate dependence and abuse. The naloxone (opiate blocking ) effects of Suboxone takes away the impulsive aspect of relapse while the buprenorphine keeps me from feeling sick. In the first couple of years of treatment I tried to abuse the Suboxone to get high but to no avail. I promptly gave up trying to abuse it, this once again confirms my belief in this products effectiveness. It is generally prescribed in a MD office once or twice a month rather than daily in a clinic. For me this means freedom to work, travel and live my life. I also use 12 step programs to aid in my recovery."
