Suboxone: Could it be the miracle drug to help opioid addictions?

London Live with Mike Stubbs - A podcast by CFPL / Curiouscast

London Live listener Rob called Mike Stubbs to talk about his experience with addiction and the issues in the government programs he went through. This conversation led to a text, talking about Suboxone, which has been referred to as the 'Jesus drug to get people off opioids." But what is Suboxone? What is it made of? How does it work? Is it actually something that can help someone who is addicted to opioids? Mike turned to Dr. Steven Laviolette, from the Anatomy and Cell Biology department at Western University to answers these questions and to get a breakdown of Suboxone and addiction.
