Pat Moore Foundation - Suboxone Terms, Continued

• Maintenance:
  The phase of treatment when the person is taking a stable dose and working with a physician or counselor to address other issues affecting his/her dependence and ability to rebuild his/her life. Opioid Dependence: A chronic brain disease that involves a physical, psychological, and behavioral need for an opioid drug. This need is unrelated to medical necessity for pain relief.

• Opioid Receptors:
  Specific places in the brain where molecules of opioid drugs or medications attach and start to exert their effect.

• Overdose:
  When a chemical substance is taken in quantities or concentrations that are large enough to overwhelm the body, causing life-threatening illness or death.

• Precipitated Withdrawal:
  Withdrawal symptoms that result when one drug displaces another drug from the receptor, and the drug has no or less effect than the drug it displaced. When SUBOXONE is given before you are in mild-to- moderate withdrawal from the opioid you have already taken, it can cause withdrawal to occur more rapidly and intensely.

• Tolerance:
  A decrease in response to a drug dose that occurs with continued use. An increase in the dose of the drug is required to achieve the effects originally produced by lower doses.

• Triggers:
  Activities, sounds, places, people, images, events, or other things that may cause a dependent person to want to have the pleasurable feeling of the misused drug or medication again. Triggers can bring on cravings.

• Withdrawal:
  The uncomfortable symptoms (such as pain, cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, sleep problems, cravings) that develop when a person stops taking a drug or medication on which he or she has become dependent.
