Suboxone is administered as a sublingual film or tablet, which means it is placed under the tongue to dissolve. The medication is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the tissues under the tongue. The medication may take 15 to 30 minutes to fully dissolve in the mouth. During Suboxone treatment, healthcare providers start by prescribing a lower dose, which is gradually increased under medical supervision. The goal is to find the minimum effective dose that controls withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Once an effective dose is established, Suboxone is taken as a single daily dose. The exact dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s needs and response to the medication. Suboxone should only be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Throughout recovery, regular follow-up appointments are important for monitoring progress and adjusting the dosage if needed to ensure the best outcomes from treatment.
