Why is it important to receive assistance with Suboxone compared to consuming other opioids?
It is much saver to take Suboxone compared to injecting Heroin or other opioids, as one never knows what he or she is injected himself or herself with. Also, the risk of infection is very high and could lead to death if an individual is not careful.
Opioids attach to certain receptors, and these lead to a dopamine release in the brain that makes an individual feel quite happy. As we all know, a high cannot and will not last forever, but the withdrawal from such pleasure makes certain individuals consume greater and greater amounts of opioids to reach a similar state.
It is a vicious cycle, and it can lead to very dangerous places.

Suboxone is made up of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a drug that minds to the opioid receptor like any other opioid, which means it can give some relief and euphoria. Of interest, buphrenorphine actually can bind to the opioid receptor exceedingly well, even stronger than most other opioid drugs.
Another ingredient in Suboxone is Naloxone. Naloxone blocks the opioid receptor, and if Suboxone is injected or taken in a non oral way, the individual will not feel the medication. This is utilized to prevent abuse.
