What combination does Suboxone contain for the treatment of opioid abuse?

Naloxone + Methadone
Buprenorphine + Naloxone
Methadone + Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine + Hydromorphone

The correct answer is: Buprenorphine + Naloxone

Suboxone is a medication that is used to treat opioid addiction. It contains a combination of two active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is an opioid medication that helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opioids. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which means it blocks the effects of other opioids in the body. This combination is effective in treating opioid abuse and reducing the risk of misuse or overdose. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they either do not contain both necessary ingredients or they include other opioids that could potentially be abused or misused. It is important for those seeking treatment for opioid addiction to understand the specific ingredients in their medications and how they work together to support recovery.
