The medication name is actually Suboxone, it contains Buprenorphine, and Naloxone, it is most commonly used to treat drug addiction, not therapeutic use of a medication. The same is true of rehab programs, they are intended for addicts, not those taking therapeutic doses of any given medication.

Suboxone itself carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, constipation, headache, and dry mouth.

What dosage of Oxycontin is your friend taking and how long have they been taking it?

If they work with their doctor, they might be able to just taper off of it.
