 NOTE: Below I have included my proposal essay from last weeks assignment for reference to use for the outline 

 

                                            The Use of Suboxone for Drug Addiction

Suboxone is a prescription medication that is used in treatment for individuals addicted to opioids. Even though Suboxone is highly recommended in treatment and recovery, its components can lead to negative health outcomes. Suboxone should be regulated in ensuring it attains its intended use. While some people may be doubtful about the use of Suboxone to treat drug addiction, they should be open to trying it to minimize opioid addiction.

There have been questions about the ingredients that make up Suboxone and their negative impact on human health. Since the active ingredient in the drug is opioids, a considerable percentage of healthcare professionals have prohibited its use in treating opioid addiction because it could lead to addiction (Haffajee & Frank, 2019). However, the main intention as to why the drug was made was to treat opioid addiction. The opioid used to make the drug is negligible, and it has been proven to work in the treatment of addiction (Haffajee & Frank, 2019).

The audience is the general public concerned about their loved ones who got into addiction. Many people will go any length to protect those that they love. There have been misconceptions about the use of the drug and that it leads to addiction. Therefore, the goal is to convince the public of the effectiveness and efficiency of Suboxone as an effective drug in addressing addiction (Haffajee& Frank, 2019).

The first strategy to convince the audience is to apply facts. Facts will include the ingredients of the drug, its impact on human health, and considerations that need to be made when taking it. Additionally, the audience will be in thinking about their loved ones whose lives have been wasted due to opioid addiction (Haffajee& Frank, 2019).

Drug addiction is a disease, and everyone should be given a chance regardless of their past. The approach is to show the lengths that people need to go to protect those that we love. By engaging the people’s feelings, it will be easier to convince them of the effectiveness of the drug in addiction treatment.
