A member asked:

Please help docs! is suboxen just another means of getting high for an addict?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Unlikely. Very few addicts get a euphoria. The Suboxone keeps them from being sick. Many use this stability to get their life straight +/or wean off. Unfortunately, many others use this stability as a rest between drug runs with their original drug. Suboxone enables their ongoing drug use.
