What is Suboxone Treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) is an evidence-based approach to treating opioid addiction. This FDA-approved medication combines buprenorphine—a partial opioid agonist, which alleviates withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings—and naloxone, an antagonist that prevents misuse. Suboxone effectively stabilizes brain chemistry, enabling patients to engage successfully in therapy and counseling, significantly improving recovery outcomes. Treatment is provided in an outpatient setting, allowing individuals to maintain their daily routines.

Why Choose Suboxone MAT?

Clinically Proven

Suboxone has been shown to reduce the risk of fatal overdose by approximately 50% compared to untreated opioid addiction

Safe and Manageable

Suboxone has a lower potential for misuse due to its built-in safeguard, naloxone, which deters misuse by causing withdrawal if injected.

Convenient Treatment Approach

Suboxone can be administered through prescription and taken at home, allowing patients greater flexibility and convenience.

What to Expect During Suboxone Treatment

When you begin MAT with Suboxone at Recovery Unlimited, our structured treatment process involves several key phases:

  • Initial Assessment: Comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation to tailor treatment plans specifically to your needs.
  • Induction Phase: Medically supervised initiation of Suboxone to safely minimize withdrawal symptoms.
  • Stabilization: Fine-tuning medication dosages to effectively manage cravings while minimizing side effects.
  • Maintenance & Support: Ongoing medication management combined with regular therapy and counseling sessions aimed at sustaining long-term recovery and overall well-being.

What’s The Difference?

Suboxone is a partial opioid agonist combined with naloxone, effectively reducing cravings and withdrawal without producing significant euphoria. It’s commonly prescribed in outpatient settings, providing flexibility and reduced risk of misuse.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, administered through carefully supervised daily dosing. It’s highly effective for managing severe withdrawal symptoms and cravings, offering a structured approach particularly suited for those needing additional support. Click For More Info

Naltrexone is a non-opioid medication that blocks opioid receptors, preventing relapse by eliminating opioid effects and significantly reducing cravings.
