Suboxone and Pain Management – Why This Matters

by | Jun 3, 2025 | Medication | 0 comments

One of the primary ways we treat addiction and dependency to opioids like fentanyl, Vicodin, and heroin, is through a medication known as Suboxone. Suboxone is a combination of two medications (Buprenorphine/Naloxone), and essentially tricks the brain into thinking that it’s taking an opioid by binding to the same receptors.

This makes it possible to take less of the drug with fewer withdrawal symptoms and risk of overdose. It is one of the most effective psychiatric treatments available for treating opioids.

Yet part of the reason that it is so effective – besides its ability to trick the brain – is because suboxone also has the ability to help with pain management. It’s not a replacement for other treatments, nor should it be taken specifically for pain management, but it may be able to decrease pain in some patients, and that benefit increases the potential for suboxone as a treatment.

Why Does Pain Management Matter?

Some people do choose to take opioids specifically as a recreational drug. But many others find themselves addicted to and becoming dependent on opioids because they’re struggling with chronic pain.

While suboxone may not itself be considered a treatment of chronic pain, buprenorphine is a type of opioid, which allows suboxone to provide some pain relief. This can help patients with the treatment process, as it helps prevent relapse caused by pain.

Other opioid use disorder treatments in the past did not always have this quality. Many patients found relief from cravings while taking other medications, but – as the pain returned – found themselves falling back into new habits. The pain management benefits of suboxone are one of the many reasons this medication has value as a treatment for OUD.
