Suboxone Addiction Help

Most Suboxone use begins with a prescription. Suboxone is a powerful synthetic opiate used for opiate addiction treatment and pain management. However, anyone prescribed the drug for use over a long period of time risks developing an addiction to Suboxone. The body will develop a tolerance to the drug, making it less effective and causing many users to increase their dosage. Increased dosage increases the likelihood of addiction and damage to major organs, particularly the liver and kidneys.

Signs of Suboxone Addiction

The following are signs of Suboxone addiction:

• Dizziness
• Weakness
• Apathy
• Confusion
• Small pupils
• Shallow breathing
• Tired, nodding off or passing out
• Seizures
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Cold and/or clammy skin
• Constipation

Some of the signs of Suboxone use are similar to drunkenness. If you suspect someone might be using Suboxone but are having trouble distinguishing between pills or alcohol, assume Suboxone and do not let the person pass out or “sleep it off.”  If a person has consumed enough Suboxone to pass out, they may not wake up.

Suboxone Holistic Rehabilitation Help

Holistic drug rehabilitation is unique from rehab programs consisting only of detox treatment in that it treats the patient’s underlying issues beyond their drug addiction.  Holistic Suboxone rehab not only treats the body but also the mental state of the patient as well as their spiritual needs.  This can be a superior alternative to traditional rehab in that it seeks to expose underlying issues that may cause a user to relapse. The following are some of the treatment options offered in holistic Suboxone rehabilitation centers:

• Yoga
• Tai-chi
• Acupuncture
• Daily exercise
• Healthy and nutritional diet
• Message therapy
• Meditation
• Spiritual counseling

Although holistic rehab may not be for everyone, these centers do offer services that go beyond simply detoxifying the body and then returning the user to the same life that led to their original drug use.
