What is Subutex®?
Subutex® is the brand name for buprenorphine, a medication primarily used to treat opioid dependence and addiction. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it activates the same opioid receptors in the brain as other opioids, but to a lesser extent. It helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, allowing individuals to stabilize their opioid use and focus on recovery.
While Subutex® is intended to help people overcome opioid dependence, it can also be misused, leading to dependence and addiction. It is a controlled substance and misuse is illegal and dangerous. Like other opioids, Subutex® can cause physical dependence with prolonged use. Misuse can include taking higher doses than prescribed, using it more frequently than directed, or combining it with other substances. Addiction can develop due to its effects on the brain's reward system and its ability to relieve withdrawal symptoms and cravings for other opioids.
How Does Subutex® Work?
Subutex® works by binding to the same opioid receptors in the brain as other opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers. However, it does so with a lower level of activation, which helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the same "high" as other opioids. This can help people who are addicted to opioids to function more normally while they are in treatment and recovery.
What are the Physical, Psychological, and Behavioral Signs of Subutex® Addiction?
Recognizing the signs of Subutex® addiction can be challenging, as they often overlap with symptoms of other conditions. However, being aware of potential indicators can help you identify a possible problem and seek help sooner.
Physical Signs:
- Changes in appearance: A person struggling with Subutex® addiction may neglect their personal hygiene, leading to noticeable changes in their appearance.
- Weight loss or gain: Significant fluctuations in weight can be a sign of substance misuse, including Subutex® addiction.
- Sleep disturbances: Insomnia or excessive sleeping can be indicative of Subutex® addiction.
- Physical health problems: Subutex® addiction can lead to various physical health issues, such as liver damage or infections.
Psychological Signs:
- Mood swings: Individuals with Subutex® addiction may experience dramatic shifts in mood, including irritability, anxiety, and depression.
- Cognitive impairment: Subutex® addiction can affect cognitive function, leading to problems with memory, concentration, and decision-making.
- Loss of interest: A decline in interest in previously enjoyed activities or hobbies can be a sign of Subutex® addiction.
- Social isolation: Withdrawal from friends, family, and social activities can be a sign of Subutex® addiction.
Behavioral Signs:
- Doctor shopping: Seeking prescriptions from multiple doctors to obtain more Subutex® is a warning sign of addiction.
- Financial problems: Spending excessive amounts of money on Subutex® or experiencing financial difficulties due to drug use can be a sign of addiction.
- Changes in daily routine: Significant changes in daily routines, such as neglecting responsibilities or engaging in secretive behavior, can be indicative of Subutex® addiction.
- Continued use despite negative consequences: Continuing to use Subutex® despite experiencing negative consequences, such as relationship problems or legal issues, is a strong sign of addiction.
It's important to remember that the presence of these signs doesn't automatically mean someone is addicted to Subutex®. However, if you notice several of these signs in yourself or a loved one, it's crucial to seek professional help to determine if there's a problem and get appropriate treatment.

How Long is Subutex® Addiction Treatment?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The length of Subutex® addiction treatment varies depending on several individual factors. These factors include the severity of the addiction, the individual's overall health, and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
At Milestone Treatment Center, we work closely with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs. Treatment may last for a few weeks to several months, and may include different levels of care, such as:
- Detoxification: This is typically the first step in treatment and can last anywhere from a few days to a week or more.
- Inpatient Treatment: Inpatient or residential treatment provides 24/7 care and support in a structured environment. This level of care can be beneficial for individuals who require more intensive support in the early stages of recovery. Inpatient treatment typically lasts for 30-90 days, but can be longer or shorter depending on individual needs.
- Outpatient Treatment: Outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home while attending therapy sessions and other treatment activities. This level of care can be a good option for those who have a strong support system at home and are committed to their recovery. Outpatient treatment can last for several weeks to several months.
