Suboxone acts as a partial agonist opioid, similar to methadone in its ability to attach to the brain's opioid receptors. However, unlike methadone, it does not fully activate these receptors. This characteristic of being a partial agonist means Suboxone might not be as potent in controlling cravings and withdrawal symptoms in intense addiction scenarios.
Another difference between Suboxone vs. Methadone is that Suboxone is taken daily but is done so at home, while Methadone is done daily but in a clinic setting. This means that you can get Suboxone online, but can't get Methadone online.
