[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 660892, member: 18958"] Hi Cedar This is what I found about these medications on Google: Suboxone seems to be a brand name for a medication that consists of Buprenorphine and Naloxone. "Buprenorphine alone is usually used for the first 2 days after you have stopped all other narcotics. It is usually given in your doctor's office. Your doctor will then switch you to this combination buprenorphine/naloxone medication for maintenance treatment. The combination with naloxone works the same way as buprenorphine alone to prevent withdrawal symptoms...." These medications fill opioid receptors accustomed to opiates to quell the symptoms of withdrawal. Or it seems that they can be used as an alternative to opiates, as they have a similar, less potent effect. If your daughter were on a prescribed treatment would she not have come with sufficient medication? The suboxone seems to be given instead of an opiate, to fill the opiate receptors that are accustomed to and want an opiate. While Naloxone can be used to reverse opiate overdose [I]it is included in Suboxone to discourage misuse[/I], to take away the buzz and therefore discourage misuse. How can anybody except a treatment center do the right thing? Of course it has been really hard. It is impossible. Cedar, can you and D H handle opiate withdrawal? Should you? No parent would be equipped to deal with this. Have you and D H thought about ending the visit? The children know the reality of their lives. They may not like it or be served by it but they know it. To tell the truth and to name the reality of things, and to act accordingly can sometimes be the way to go. We are here with you, Cedar. As you have always been here for us. COPA [/QUOTE]
