If you have been addicted to a substance or have a family member who is addicted to pills, you know how difficult the process can be. Pills and prescription drugs are an extremely easy way to run away from problems but they are not a permanent solution.
Suboxone is a high-dose derivative formulation from buprenorphine that is most commonly used to treat painkiller and opioid, or narcotic, addiction. It usually comes in the form of a tiny, octagonal, orange tablet that is to be taken orally, only available by prescription to people ages 16 and older. Suboxone is essentially a narcotic itself, but it has the ability to wean a person off of other addictive narcotics like oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone, and heroin.
