With the unfortunate growth in the U.S. of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) many people are looking for a way to end their dependence through the use of a Suboxone treatment program.  Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone), provides a multi-pronged approach to treating opioid use disorder.  Suboxone provides a partial opioid agonist (Buprenorphine) as well as a full antagonist (Naloxone).  The Buprenorphine provides relief to opioid users while the Naloxone negates the effects of opioid use.
