Buprenorphine is the way out of Heroin addiction

The human brain is a volatile place. It decides when to be happy, it decides when it needs to be aggressive and it can also decide when to be sad. Unfortunately, sadness if pushed too far can lead to severe bouts of depression and it’s this dark and repressive phase, a person’s first reaction is to escape the situation that is pulling him/her down. But often times, people seek the help of outer body substances that initially seem right at first but always lead to dire consequences. An example of such a substance is Heroin.

The use of heroin in one form or the other has always existed throughout history. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan had painters paint depiction of people who used opium for recreation. The wild west of the 1800’s America also had similar opium saloons where addicts would spend days on end in a constant dream state. There are many such examples of Opioid abuse and this is really not a new thing. Heroin came into the world when a German pharmaceutical company produced and marketed the drug as a "safe painkiller". Yes, heroin is indeed a very good painkiller but in no way is it safe by any means.

In the 1960’s a drug came out which became famous as the cure for heroin addiction and yes to some extent it did put people off heroin for a while, until the makers and doctors alike realised that this drug was as addictive as heroin was. This drug is called Methadone. Despite its addictive properties, Methadone continued to be the preferred medical solution to heroin addiction for over 30 years until a new drug was invented which complete broke all stereotypes regarding heroin addiction. This new drug is called Buprenorphine which is usually sold under the brand name, Suboxone.

The positive side of buprenorphine addiction treatment is the fact that patients do not get addicted to repeated usages due to the presence of a certain element called Naloxone. Moreover, unlike methadone, buprenorphine is administered in controlled and limited doses by certified and experienced buprenorphine doctors under controlled environments.
