“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.”
