Suboxone is a brand name form of an opiate withdrawal and detox medicine , scientifically named Buprenorphine, and in some forms combined with Nalaxone, sold in real life under the brand name Subutex, among others, it is an opioid used to treat opioid addiction, acute pain, and chronic pain. It can be used Sublingual under the tongue, by injection, as a skin patch, or as an implant. Elliot Alderson uses it to stop withdrawal symptoms he gains from abusing morphine, relieving him from the physical withdrawl symtoms that come from a lack of morphine.
For opioid addiction it is typically only started when withdrawal symptoms have begun and for the first two days of treatment under direct observation of a health care provider. For longer term treatment of addiction a combination formulation of buprenorphine/naloxone (Suboxone) is recommended to discourage misuse by injection. Elliot uses it when he does not have morphine, as he indures withdrawals and decides to self-medicate and stop said withdrawal symptoms by taking red/orange buprenorphine tablets. His supplier for the medicine was Shayla Nico.
