How in the World Did I Get Addicted?

First things first: It’s not your fault. Addiction is a disease, not a moral choice. Chances are your addiction grew over a period of time. You may even have guilt or shame for having enjoyed the euphoric feelings opioids provided you. Opioids are often abused as a method of coping with emotional pain or trauma. You are not alone.

Opioid addiction has become an epidemic. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people just like yourself feel trapped, hopeless, and unsure of what to do next.

You can’t go without drugs without getting sick. You can’t afford to miss work. You don’t wish to be away from your family. Perhaps you’re sick and tired of feeling sick and tired all the time. What does one do? We can help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Taking Suboxone

Will I go into withdrawal before starting Suboxone?

You may need to develop signs of opioid withdrawal before starting Suboxone using a standard induction approach. Starting buprenorphine too soon can cause precipitated withdrawal, so timing is important. Your Nashville Addiction Clinic provider may use your symptoms and the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) to help determine when it is appropriate to begin. Fentanyl and other factors can affect this process, so follow the individualized instructions from your prescriber rather than using a universal waiting period.

How soon will I feel better after taking Suboxone?

Buprenorphine begins working after it is taken, but how quickly you experience relief can vary. Many patients experience improvement in opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings as the medication takes effect. Your response depends on factors such as the opioids you have been using, your level of withdrawal, your prescribed dose, and how your body responds to the medication. Follow your provider’s dosing instructions and contact your treatment team if your symptoms are not improving as expected.

How will I feel while taking Suboxone?

When Suboxone is working as intended, the goal is to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings so you can feel stable and function normally without experiencing the cycle of intoxication and withdrawal associated with opioid misuse. Your experience may differ, particularly when treatment is first started or your dose is being adjusted. Tell your provider about side effects, persistent cravings, withdrawal symptoms, or other concerns so your treatment can be adjusted when appropriate.

Am I trading one drug for another by taking Suboxone?

No. Taking prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is different from uncontrolled opioid misuse. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings while helping stabilize opioid use disorder. Suboxone is prescribed as part of a medical treatment plan and can be combined with counseling and ongoing recovery support.

What is Suboxone, exactly?

Suboxone is a brand-name medication containing buprenorphine and naloxone that is used to treat opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that helps reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Naloxone is included primarily to discourage misuse of the medication by injection. Generic buprenorphine/naloxone products are also available, including sublingual films and tablets that dissolve under the tongue.
