Suboxone is the one you are thinking of. Naloxone is used to reverse the effects of an OD. Unless they are functionally similar and I am misinformed.


Naloxone is used to curb drug cravings as it blocks opiod receptors so you can't get high when you take it and thus weaken the reward pathway circuit in your brain's reward system. This has been studied in prison systems to lead to less repeat offenders for drug related offences (dui) when given naloxone in prison. I wish I could find the study.


Suboxone usually contains some Naloxone.
