Service Description

Over 2.5 million Americans suffer from opioid use disorder which contributed to over 28,000 overdose deaths in 2014.Use of opioids, including heroin and prescription pain relievers, can lead to overdose deaths, criminal activity, and the spread of infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis; however, effective treatment medications are available. Physician prescribed medications, including buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex) and methadone, are have been proven successful for opiate addiction treatment.

Medications should be combined with behavioral counseling for a “whole patient” approach—known as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), which is available at Recovery Concepts as an outpatient opiate addiction program. MAT Decreases opioid use, while increasing social functioning and retention in treatment.Patients treated with medication were more likely to remain in therapy compared to patients receiving treatment that did not include medication.
Methadone and buprenorphine DO NOT substitute one addiction for another. When someone is treated for an opioid addiction, the dosage of medication used does not get them high–it helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal. These medications restore balance to the brain circuits affected by addiction, allowing the patient’s brain to heal while working toward recovery.
