Chronic Opioid Dependency

Suboxone 

Suboxone is the prescription medication to treat opioid dependence. It consists of two medications — buprenorphine and naloxone —that work together to control cravings for opioids and reduce withdrawal symptoms. The goal of the therapy is to eventually get the patient off opioids and Suboxone and help them have the coping skills to prevent relapse.
