The Benefits of Suboxone Treatment

The US continues to record high cases of opioid-related deaths and drug overdose deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) assessments reveal that in 2018, an estimated 70% of 67,400 Americans died from a drug overdose after overindulging on opioids. Fortunately, full recovery from opioids addiction is possible when you consider the benefits of suboxone treatment.

Drug overdose deaths are on the rise in the US, affecting the youth and elderly of all races. When treating opioid addictions, doctors and mental health experts use suboxone to offer relief. Suboxone, which contains both Buprenorphine and Naloxone, works by blocking opiate receptors and easing the severe withdrawal symptoms.

Outlook on Opioid Addiction

When seeking the benefits of Suboxone treatment in Reidsville, NC, it’s essential to understand that opiates are a group of drugs, including morphine, heroin, OxyCodone, Fentanyl, Hydrocodone, and codeine.

There are two main reasons why anyone becomes addicted to an opiate drug. First of all, you can develop tolerance to the substance, meaning you’ll need more of it over time to experience the same level of “high.”

The other reason is the capability of the drug to stimulate your brain’s receptors. Everyone has natural brain receptors, and opioids can activate the receptors because their organic structure imitates the natural brain neurotransmitters. The drugs trick your brain into producing dopamine, which is a hormone that produces feelings of pleasure, motivation, and perception.

Desirable Effects of Suboxone Treatment

You’ll access the benefits of Suboxone treatment when your doctor prescribes the medicine for your addiction. Suboxone treatment doesn’t necessitate joining an in-patient treatment program, which might be expensive. When on an outpatient addiction treatment program, you don’t need to alter your lifestyle while receiving treatment.

When using the correct prescribed amount of suboxone, expect various positive effects, including:

  • A lessening in full adverse effects of opioid antagonists
  • Fewer yearnings for other forms of opioids
  • Suppression of severe withdrawal symptoms from other opioids, such as heroin and prescription painkillers

What Are the Benefits of Suboxone Treatment?

Along with the benefits mentioned above, opiate addiction treatment centers that use suboxone offer other particular advantages:

  • High Success Rate: When a doctor or therapist uses suboxone to reduce withdrawal symptoms, its total success rate is far much higher than other similar drugs. Suboxone has minimal addiction rates, and it’s unlikely to cause an overdose. Therefore, it’s easier to permanently quit addictions through suboxone treatment since the drug itself diminishes the chances of abuse.
  • Privacy: Instead of daily visits to your pharmacist or outpatient rehab facility, a suboxone doctor prescribes the drug, and you can refill at any pharmacy. A suboxone treatment won’t interfere with your family life, career, or education because nobody will know you’re on opioid therapy unless you tell them.
  • Affordability: Unlike some other opioid treatment options, most insurance policies cover suboxone treatment. Furthermore, since you can refill your pills at your nearest drug store, you can do the refilling every month, which reduces travel costs and makes the whole treatment plan cheaper.
  • Lower Risk of Overdose or Abuse: Naloxone, which is a main ingredient of suboxone, doesn’t cause a euphoric feeling, unlike other opioids. Therefore, patients on suboxone are less likely to abuse the drug, meaning there will be fewer occurrences of addiction or an overdose.

Overcome Addiction at TruHealing Reidsville – Reidsville

Mental health professionals usually combine suboxone treatment with several other programs, such as:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Partial hospitalization program
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy
  • 12-Step recovery program
  • Sober living

You don’t have to lose your fight against opioid addiction when suboxone treatment is readily available. Although the benefits of Suboxone treatment are countless, it’s ill-advised to use any drug without a doctor’s prescription. Most opioid treatment drugs are addictive and can lead to severe consequences if you overdose. Visit a treatment center today and learn about the benefits of Suboxone treatment in Reidsville, NC.

As we continue to grow Amatus Health, the need to stay competitive and differentiate ourselves in unique ways is crucial. Building creative approaches to reach more people will take our company to new heights. This is why I am pleased to announce that we are officially rebranding. Our new national name, TruHealing Addiction & Mental Health Treatment, will eventually replace Amatus Recovery Centers.

You may be asking, “Why are we doing this?” This new name will give us national uniformity and help brand ourselves as a whole, which will be done in phases. You will still see our existing facility names co-branded with TruHealing for the time being.

Healing is what we do. Everyone who comes through our doors is in a moment of profound struggle in their lives. We support them through a life-changing process of healing and recovery, and they leave our facilities changed. This new name is a representation of that process. As mentioned above, it also allows us to have a national brand, which will make us a recognizable name in the addiction and mental health field.

In summation, these changes present an excellent opportunity for our organization to develop our mission, vision, and purpose. I look forward to prosperous growth as we head in a new and positive direction.

Sincerely,

Passions & interests: The greatest passion of mine is being able to dig into the work with men in early recovery. There is nothing better than witnessing and being a part of the change. My journey in long-term recovery has taught me to value the little things in life that I am now able to do. I love to do anything that allows me to be present with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and taking long motorcycle rides with our friends. If I am not on the road working or with my wife, I am studying or playing softball.

 

The best part of my job is being able to show up for my team and clients; they all mean the world to me. I get to brainstorm and strategize with tons of different personalities. A lot of the team does not know, but I love learning from them. If I am not learning something about our industry or workplace, I am certainly learning how to effectively collaborate with different types of individuals.

 

Together, we can change the narrative and be a part of the solution to better treat those trapped in the problem.
