Sub works by feeding an opiate into your opiate receptors to keep you out of withdrawal and at the same time it contains another ingredient which works to block any
high you would feel off that opiate. My sub doctors had
me carry an emergency medical card re suboxone and what to do in an emergency as normal treatment with opiate containing pain meds will not work. You can find lots of useful information concerning suboxone - the good, the bad and the ugly - on this site and on other sites.
