Suboxone Withdrawal

Opiate addiction is a serious condition that requires a professional medical detox. Suboxone is the brand name for buprenorphine and naloxone, used to treat addiction to opiates including heroin and morphine. Suboxone may lead to addiction also, as buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Naloxone is an opiate blocker that helps prevent misuse. The sublingual tablets should be taken exactly as prescribed. Doing otherwise could lead to dependence and addiction. Suboxone is considered a Schedule III narcotic in the U.S. This federal classification is based on factors including its potential to be habit-forming and its acceptable medical use. A physical Suboxone addiction is characterized by the onset of withdrawal symptoms once use is abruptly stopped or tapered. The withdrawal associated with the drug is considered to be moderate. Withdrawal symptoms have also been reported in infants of pregnant women who were on Suboxone therapy during pregnancy. It is only recommended for pregnant women if a doctor determines the benefits outweigh the risks.

Suboxone Warnings and Commonly Reported Withdrawal Symptoms

Misusing Suboxone can produce addiction, overdose and severe withdrawal symptoms. This includes injecting or shooting up the drug. Patients taking this drug should follow their doctors’ advice on how and when to take it. Consuming Suboxone soon after using opiates including heroin, methadone and morphine can trigger withdrawal. Opiate withdrawal symptoms include drug cravings, insomnia, mood changes, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, muscle and bone pain, irritability, chills, sweating and shakiness. Suboxone can be useful in the management of drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms from other opiates but can also require patients to undergo a second detox.

Waismann Method Offers Safe, Humane and Opiate-Free Suboxone Detox

The Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation offers a safe, compassionate Suboxone detox that doesn’t rely on opiate replacement therapy. Patients in our renowned program first undergo an exhaustive batch of diagnostic medical tests. Special intravenous medications are then used to cleanse the opiates from patients’ opiate receptors. This occurs in a hospital while patients sleep lightly under deep sedation for a short time. They awake unaware of the accelerated withdrawal symptoms that occurred while they were under. We have been successfully treating opiate addiction for over a decade in the U.S., using a scientific and humane approach. The accelerated procedure eliminates the physical drug addiction within days as compared to other detox programs which can require a stay of 30 to 90 days.
