Suboxone is a narcotic medication indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence, available only by prescription. It must be taken while under a doctor's care. Suboxone contains buprenorphine, an opioid medication.
Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces little or no euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking. It also contains Naloxone, which blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin.
When Suboxone is injected, naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine and lead to withdrawal symptoms in a person with an opioid addiction. When administered under the tongue as directed, naloxone will not affect the actions of buprenorphine.
