Suboxone
 
 
Buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Subutex®) is an opioid medication used to treat opioid addiction in the privacy of a physician's office.1 Buprenorphine can be dispensed for take-home use, by prescription.1 This, in addition to the pharmacological
and safety profile of buprenorphine, makes it an attractive treatment for patients addicted to opioids.2
