No: Suboxone consists of buprenorphine, which modulates opioid receptors in the brain, and naltrexone, an opioid antagonist. Cocaine is considered a stimulant which affects dopamine receptors . Suboxone is typically used for treatment of opiate addiction. Both can be abused. Possible use of Suboxone for treatment of cocaine dependence is under investigation despite differing mechanisms of action.
