It is important to be in mild-to-moderate withdrawal when you take your first dose of SUBOXONE because if you have high levels of other opioids in your system, SUBOXONE because if you have high levels of other opioids in your system, SUBOXONE will compete with the other opioid molecules and knock them offthe receptors.  SUBOXONE will then replace those opioid molecules on the receptors.  Because SUBOXONE has less opioid effects than full opioid agonists, you may go into withdrawal and feel sick.  This is called precipitated withdrawal.  By already being in the first stages of withdrawal when you take your first dose of SUBOXONE, the process will be easier, and SUBOXONE should make you feel better.  Once your doctor has assessed your level of withdrawal and decided that your are ready to start SUBOXONE, you will begin the induction phase of treatment.
