Suboxone Intervention
The makers of Suboxone have actually figured out a way to make doctors legal drug dealers and provide taxable narcotics to people in society. Suboxone is made of two drugs called Buprenorphine, a powerful narcotic similar to 
heroin and morphine and Naloxone which is actually a pill form of Narcan that is used to reverse the effects of opiates during overdose. When you dissolve the pill under your tongue you are getting a rush of powerful opiates just like getting high on heroin and then the Naloxone comes in after and prevents other opiates from entering. Basically your Suboxone doctor becomes the only drug dealer you will ever need and you can buy your drugs legally from the pharmacy. Suboxone intervention has increased tremendously in recent years due to many substances abusers using Suboxone or Subutex as a permanent solution to their addiction. We have been told many times that families feel the doctors prescribing the Suboxone are no different then their loved ones street level dealer giving them legal drugs and with no improvement. Although Suboxone can be a used as a detox drug, it is not a long term solution to opiate dependency. If a substance abuser is using Suboxone for longer than a week, then they are really no different than someone in the methadone program and are still classified as drug users. Suboxone intervention helps educate families on the reality that the problem with their loved one is not the drugs, it is the persons inability to face uncomfortable feelings or situations. Giving someone Suboxone is no better that giving an alcoholic a bottle of beer to get better. During Suboxone intervention families try to explain to us that their loved ones are doing better on Suboxone, however if that were true families would not be calling us for Suboxone intervention, and secondly we would not be doing an intervention to help them stop. Families, sadly enough, define better as their son or daughter no longer stealing $20 bills from moms purse or dads wallet. Although that is better, is your loved one actually improving the quality of their life on Suboxone? The answer is, especially if your reading this, probably not. Suboxone is just reduction in harm caused to themselves and others, not a fix or a cure for any opiate addiction. Turning to Suboxone for treatment of opiates is never a viable long term solution, that is why we receive so many calls for Suboxone intervention.
Intervention for Suboxone Addiction
Intervention for substance abusers on Suboxone can be challenging because, like pain medicine addiction their name is on the bottle and they were given the medication by a doctor. Psychologically, this puts families in a difficult position to confront their loved one. This is why it is so important to use a professional counselor for a Suboxone intervention. Most addicts gravitate toward a Suboxone program or a methadone program because for the substance abuser it is the path of least resistance. In the education portion of a Suboxone intervention, we tell families that a drug addict is willing to do as little as possible to get better. If we did intervention for outpatient groups, methadone programs, Suboxone maintenance, or A.A. meetings as the method of treatment, interventions would be easy. This is because the addict will always go for the quickest fix to any problem. This why they are on drugs in the first place. Instead of dealing with problems the way most people do, the substance abuser takes the quickest route by getting high and not confronting situations. The problem is doctors end up giving the substance abuser a drug similar to what they were on in the first place called Suboxone. This is why we receive so many calls for Suboxone intervention.
Suboxone Intervention Program
You can learn more more about Suboxone by reading our article under our "For Families" section on this website. If Suboxone was such a wonderful medication I would probably not have so many phone calls from families telling us about how much worse their loved one has become, and that all they do is just sell their pills on the streets anyway to make money for heroin, Oxycontin, or some other opiate. Again, Suboxone is a wonderful medication for short term use from opiate withdrawal, however for a long term solution it does not focus on the problem. During a Suboxone intervention program we instruct families that being on Suboxone does not allow their loved one to feel their emotions. By not feeling their emotions, it makes it almost impossible to deal with the emotions and feelings to correct what is wrong. If they are constantly high on Suboxone, how will they ever accomplish this?
