While there is a certain amount of concern about abuse potential and suboxone being habit-forming, this should not be a major concern in medication-assisted treatment of opioid dependence. Patients who are treated with buprenorphine usually function very well in their daily lives.
Ever wondered about the side effects of Suboxone and how it fits into addiction treatment? Dr. Mark Leeds, an osteopathic physician with a wealth of experience, breaks it all down in this episode. He sheds light on some of the most severe side effects, like precipitated withdrawal, which can bring on symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, achy muscles, yawning, anxiety, and insomnia. Unlike methadone, Suboxone requires a waiting period before treatment can begin.
But don’t worry, buprenorphine, the active ingredient in Suboxone, is generally safe for long-term use. There are even injectable options now available for those looking for extended treatment plans. Dr. Leeds also addresses concerns about Suboxone being habit-forming. He reassures listeners that patients treated with buprenorphine often function well in their daily lives. For anyone considering medication-assisted treatment, it’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider specialized in substance use disorders.
This episode is packed with valuable information for anyone grappling with opioid addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to get a clearer picture of how Suboxone can be a part of the recovery journey.
