No it is the buprenorphine that causes precipitated withdrawals because it has stronger binding affinity then other opioits/opioids. Meaning buprenorphine knocks other opioits off the receptors causing the person to go into what is know as precipitated withdrawals which is hellish. The naloxone in Suboxone does almost nothing, if anything it was used as a marketing gimmick and saying it couldn't be injected/snorted because of it.

Great way to explain harm reduction and the current fentanyl crisis with current street drugs. Thanks

I have seen plenty of people shot/snort their Suboxone, unless another opioid/opiate is present it will not cause precipitated withdrawal. So even in those cases it is still the bupe that will cause PWDs.
