Snorting an opioid medication is also associated with numerous other harmful effects, including the following:. When using Suboxone, it is vital always to use the medication as directed by a physician. This is especially true when Suboxone is used with other intoxicating substances, such as sedatives or alcohol. Opioids generally come with the risk of profound respiratory depression when used in excessive doses.
However, as a partial agonist, buprenorphine has a ceiling effect in which the risk of respiratory issues and other problems will not increase correspondingly as the dose increases.
Instead, these effects peak at a certain point, making overdose much less likely for this drug. When Suboxone is used in conjunction with other substances, especially those that depress the central nervous system, a higher risk of a life-threatening overdose occurs. These substances include, but are not limited to, the following:. As noted, however, Suboxone abuse may lead to physical dependence and addiction more rapidly than if it is used as directed.
When a person becomes dependent on Suboxone, their body has become accustomed to its presence and will not be able to function correctly without it. Once dependence has developed, full-blown addiction may soon follow, which is characterized by compulsive-seeking behavior despite the incurrence of negative consequences.

Make a Payment Refund Policy. Addiction and drug dependence are part of the chemistry of the human body and brain. Suboxone is a sublingual tablet to dissolve under the tongue—this lets the active ingredients enter into the bloodstream over a period of time. A patient will be prescribed Suboxone to take it once a day, but over time this dose may be decreased.
The unfortunate reality is that so often a person is not able to manage an opiate addiction alone, and a regimen of Suboxone may be necessary.
If that same person grinds the pill down into a powder and snorts it, the highly sensitive nasal tissues will absorb the drug and send it directly into the bloodstream. Thus allowing the drug into the brain at a faster rate. The difference between prescription opioids and Suboxone is the chance of overdosing. In other words, Suboxone minimizes and deters drug abuse. When a person snorts Suboxone, they receive all of the active ingredients at the same time, instead of being released over a longer period.
It is not designed to be safe this way. The only safe way to ingest this medication is by swallowing the tablet.
It is also not meant to be taken for long periods. When it is snorted, your chances of becoming addicted to Suboxone increase and so do the likelihood you will take this drug long term.
This drug should only be used as an aid to detox, withdrawal symptoms from other opioids, and in conjunction with therapy. Snorting Suboxone also increases the likelihood of an overdose. When a fatal dose is taken, your body will be unable to get enough oxygen to your bloodstream. In high doses, Suboxone is a central nervous system depressant. If enough time passes after you have overdosed, you could eventually stop breathing and pass away.
