Suboxone is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of opioid addiction in the greater Jackson area. Precise Mind combines behavioral therapy and medications to treat substance use disorders.
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine (an opioid medication), and naloxone (a medication that blocks the effects of opioid medication) used to treat opioid addiction, including addiction to heroin and narcotic painkillers. Suboxone can be safe and effective in treating these addictions. Suboxone is used as a component of another form of treatment, such as inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment programs that focus on the underlying causes of addiction and reduce the risk of relapse.
If your provider decides that Suboxone is an appropriate treatment plan for you, your plan may look like the following:
Induction—you begin your treatment (or restart it if you’ve relapsed) under the supervision of a healthcare provider. For your first dose, you must be in an intermediate state of withdrawal. You work with your healthcare provider to reach a dose of SUBOXONE Film that works for you.
Maintenance—Your healthcare provider will help you to transition to the maintenance phase of treatment when you:
In the maintenance phase, you may be taking your medication regularly as prescribed. You should comply with all of your treatment plan elements, including responsibly handling the medication, staying free from illicit drug use, and seeking counseling or psychosocial support.
Medical taper—The decision to discontinue therapy with SUBOXONE Film after a period of maintenance should be made as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It would be best if you worked with your doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant to determine when the time is right to slowly lower your dose, taking care to minimize withdrawal symptoms. Throughout treatment, you should discuss any concerns you have about relapse with your healthcare provider.
Precise Mind and its addiction team has specific regulations that must be followed in the program. Your provider will go over those rules and regulations.
