- Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain. It prevents opioids like heroin or oxycodone from producing any high or pleasurable effects. Naltrexone is non-addictive and doesn’t cause withdrawal if stopped. However, it requires the patient to be fully detoxed from opioids before starting, or it can trigger immediate and severe withdrawal symptoms. It's often used after the initial detox period to prevent relapse.Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist) and naloxone (an opioid antagonist). Buprenorphine activates opioid receptors just enough to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without causing a full high. Naloxone is included to deter misuse by injection. Suboxone is often used during the early and middle stages of recovery to help stabilize patients.
