By Martha Reynolds


Addictions are something that one can do very well without, for anything of a good thing that comes to an excess is always bad. In the case of heroin addiction you may be looking for a way out of it, for its one of the hardest addictions to break away from. So now while you are in Miami, FL you may be looking for a heroin detox center that is available for you. Before you do look for one, do read on in this article about how Suboxone is sometimes used as a detox agent.

Heavy dependence or addiction to opiates is not something that can be treated overnight. Cold turkey is not an option in dealing with this kind of dependence as dire consequences can result. What is needed is a gradual removal of the dependence through substitution. Substituting another drug that can be more controlled is usually done in cases of opiate addiction.

And this substitution of another drug in place of heroin is done with Suboxone. The drug is a synthetic one and generically known as Buprenophine. The same synthetic drug is also used to get rid of addiction to other opiates such as Oxycontin, morphine, hydrocordone, codeine, fentanyl and other methadone type substances.

The drug is a mild pain killer given for pain management as prescribed by doctors to patients with Stenosis or Degenerative Disc Disease. Patients do attest to its effectiveness, saying it is much better than the traditional painkillers like Vicodin. It gives an initial high which later degrades into an out of it phase feeling according to those who have used it for a long time.

The administration of Suboxone can be done either orally, nasal spray, or trans dermal patch, which are very much like nicotine patches. It can likewise also be administered by hypodermic needle. The effects of the substitute are very much like the real thing and are fairly long lasting as well. Most of the time addiction transference can happen due to this. This should also never be given to children as respiratory suppression will occur which can result in death.

Long term use of Suboxone for detoxification can result in hair loss, abnormal responses to stress, inability to accept situations, inability to manage emotions and loss of sexual interest. Heavy abuse of this drug can lead to digestive disorders, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, insomnia, excessive sweating, and many more physical symptoms.

Taken together with Xanax, otherwise known as alprazolam, will result in death. Many have also died taking this with alcohol during drug sessions. However, despite the many risks of taking the drug, many still like to abuse it due to it giving a high like grade A heroin. It has adverse reactions to around 844 medicines, with around 261 of these giving near fatal to fatal reactions with it.

This article has given some good baseline information for Suboxone, just in case this drug is prescribed for you in your detox regimen. Always get as much information on whatever medications that will enter your body so you will always be in the best of health possible. Never gamble with your health when it comes down to it and always make an informed decision when you can.
