Thanks for the tale of the rescue dog. It's always heartwarming to hear of the pleasure these dogs can return to their owners.
I think it has all been covered here before, but just to review: There are two ingredients in Subutex. Buprenorphine and NALOXONE HCL DIHYDRATE. As you said, the second ingredient is to prevent injection (it would be an unpleasant experience). It also "is indicated for the complete or partial reversal of narcotic depression". "Depression" here means symptoms like shallow breathing, slow pulse, etc.
My own experience is that Buprenorphine by itself (Temgesic) is an extremely powerful painkiller and again, just personally, - gives a kind of floating high similar to morphine, and has anti-depressant effect. However, I find that it can leave you feeling on edge and a bit irritable and it is good to be aware of that in advance, so if it does happen, you will not take it out on others around you. It does not have (for me) the negative side effects of other opiates like constipation. It is very long lasting compared to other opiates.
It seems like the last few years it is becoming more popular for treating W/D whereas before that it was little used in the west, but popular as a painkiller one level down from morphine - especially for chronic pain in Europe.
I've heard many different opinions on how addictive or not it is but the prevailing one is negligibly for most people and I would go along with that. Some, however, do feel that they became addicted to it, but even in that group, those that had experience with Methadone rated it less addictive.
