After the creation of Buprenorphine, we soon found out that it can be a powerful tool to help overcome Heroin and other opiate addictions.

There are two types of Opiates out there, a Full agonist, such as Heroin or Oxycontin. You body reacts the same way to these and the drug locks into the Opiate receptors creating the Opiate effect.

The other is an agonistantagonist, which Buprenorphine falls into. What this means is that it blocks the Opiate receptors so you do not feel the effects of Heroin after you take Buprenorphine.

Brands of Buprenorphine are: Belbuca, Probuphine, Butrans, and Buprenex
