suboxone addiction

I think my grandson and his wife are abusing suboxone. Do people snort it? I have heard that some people do snort it like they do cocaine. I was told they were.

Hey Bama,

If they are snorting, it is likely Buprenorphine (Subutex) which is meant for sublingual use but can be snorted or injected.  Suboxone is not absorbed well into the body via any method other than sublingual.

Suboxne is Subutex with Naloxone added.  Naloxone is a drug that precipitates withdrawl.  If you are addicted to another opiate and you use Suboxone, you are subject to be in instant withdrawl instead of getting high.

Regardless, it is evil stuff.
