For an individual looking for help with opioid addiction, there are a number of treatment options. The most widely recognized treatment in the past was Methadone maintenance.
However, a treatment called Buprenorphine. Suboxone® is a trade name for a drug made up of 4 parts of an opioid called Buprenorphine and one part opioid antagonist, Naloxone. While Buprenorphine has a very strong affinity for its receptors, it only activates it partially.
