Some people, for many reasons, are addicts that are seeking a high. Some people are not seeking a high. For those who do not seek a high from medication I think suboxone could be a very helpful med.

Naloxone is not added to prevent addiction. Naloxone is added to keep addicts from abusing the suboxone and to keep other opiates from working if an addict uses while on suboxone. Naloxone is the drug they use to knock all the opiates off the receptors when a person is overdosing.
Naloxone will not stop you from becoming addicted to the suboxone.
At any rate, I am willing to go through life with an addiction (I have been addicted to SSRIs for 20 years) in exchange for a miserable suicidal life.
