See below: Mainly to stabilize opioid dependent patients prior to a detox or maintenance protocol. It may also be used for pain and/or depression.

Treatment for ....: Opioid dependence. It can be used for other "off label" purposes but it is approved only for opioid dependence.

Opiate Dependency: Suboxone contains Buprenorphine plus a short acting opiate blocker called naloxone. Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic partial opiate agonist. That means, it has very unique properties compared with other opiates like hydrocodone and oxycodone. Suboxone can take away the cravings for opiates so the addict can work on figuring out why he or she takes opiates in the first place. Suboxone saves lives.

Opioid withdrawal: It is a prescription medication used for opioid addition to help detox and weaning patients off of opioids.

OPIOID DEP AND PAIN: It is primarily for opioid dep but also for pain. Would need a pain specialist for this.
