Does someone know the real science behind SUB?

I have sort of asked this question before, but have gotten many conflicting answers. I am curious about what drugs are in suboxone and exactly how they work. Based on my research, I am under the impression that the two drugs in SUB are Narcan and Bup. Narcan blocks all bad opiates and the bup. is some kind of psuedo-pain killer that helps with withdrawls. I don't understand how the narcan can be there, but it lets the bup work and not other opiates. Anyone have the real fact about the amazing drug?

Check Suboxone's website. It's mechanism of use is explained there in layman's terms. You're kinda right and wrong on the things you've learned. I'd trt and explain it, but the Sub website does a better job. Check it out, and if you have additional questions..ask.
