Is Suboxone Right for You? Let’s Ask Oprah

Not long ago, Oprah Winfrey did a segment on her show where reporter Lisa Ling visited a doctor who prescribes Suboxone for his patients who are addicted. The lst of medications they;re addicted to is long, including: Opium, Heroin, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Morphine, Hydromorphone, Fentanyl, Codeine, Methadone, Meperidine, Oxymorphone, Tramadol, Carfentanil, not to mention the many brand-named narcotic medications we see people abusing.

Is it their fault? No. As the doctor describes, patients who become addicted to narcotics are fighting a craving similar, but far more powerful than being hungry. Their bodies are telling them over and over again, “I need this, I need this, I need this.”

The benefits Suboxone offers those who are addicted is unparalleled. Suboxone gives addicts the ability to live without cravings and withdrawals, allowing them to live a normal life.
