How Does Suboxone Help Addiction Treatment?

Since Suboxone is a depressant, it slows you down rather than speeding you up like a stimulant. Those who take the medication may experience:

- Perceived fewer worries and reduced stress levels
- Relaxation
Follow-up appointments with your prescribing physician is important in ensuring a successful recovery while on Suboxone.
