Jillian,
Although no age is given, suboxone can and is prescribed for teens in one specific circumstance: drug addiction
“It is the view of most adolescent substance abuse experts (according to SAMHSA – Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) that buprenorphine treatment is the best choice for most teen opiate addicts.
Suboxone may be prescribed to adolescent users. In some states teens will need parental consent to receive the medication, but in many states doctors can prescribe this medication without needing parental consent.”

Addiction Rehab: Methods to Get Through Heroin Withdrawal Without Relapsing on Other Drugs
A heroin user going through heroin withdrawal can have symptoms that range from jerking walking movements, vomiting, diarrhea and even unconsciousness. If the user has been on heroin for a long time, going without heroin without therapy or a drug substitute can be fatal. Heroin affects the central nervous system and the drug effect or rush or buzz is really the drug shutting down the central nervous system and settling in the brain.
To carefully perform a heroin withdrawal, a heroin user needs to find a facility that can assist him or her with therapy and by with a substitute drug to stop the control that heroin has in the user’s brain. Even with a controlled withdrawal environment, the symptoms are not pleasant to watch. Symptoms are said to start about two days after stopping heroin.
