Yes, Suboxone is a medication that requires a prescription. It is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, used primarily in the treatment of opioid dependence and addiction. Because Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, and naloxone, an opioid antagonist, it has the potential for misuse and must be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional. The prescribing and administration of Suboxone are regulated under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act (DATA) of 2000, which mandates that healthcare providers must complete specific training and obtain a waiver to prescribe it. This regulation ensures that patients receiving Suboxone are under the care of qualified professionals who can provide appropriate treatment and support for their addiction recovery journey.
