Suboxone, particularly from France, seems to have come with big problems of its own, as is candidly shown in the film/docu Reindeerspotting - Escape from Santaland: https://imdb.com/title/tt1584813/
People do abuse Suboxone though, and while it is not as bad as heroin, it can still ruin lives. I once watched this sad documentary, Reindeerspotting, about a Suboxone addict:

I don't think drugs need to be very euphoric to have potential for abuse. Consider nicotine - it is not particularly pleasurable and yet people become very dependent on it.
