Phillipa, it's for opioid addiction, so you shouldn't have to worry aboutit for your postop pain management. This friend has probably been dealing with it for a long time.

Hi P
You probably won't need opioids for more than a few days after your surgery.
Suboxone is used mainy to treat heroin addiction. It contains buprenorphine and naloxone. The naloxone is present to discourage people from crushing and injecting the tablets.
