Medication-assisted treatment
Medical intervention is a beacon of hope for individuals vulnerable to withdrawal symptoms or grappling with their aftermath post-detox.
Medication-assisted treatment is a lifeline, and our team of accomplished physicians is poised to evaluate your needs and prescribe suitable medications as part of your heroin addiction treatment.
Notably, several medications such as Suboxone and Vivitrol play a pivotal role in easing withdrawal symptoms, reducing the craving for heroin, and staying sober.
Suboxone, administered orally on a daily basis, combines the functions of a partial opioid agonist (by binding to the same opioid receptors as heroin) and an opioid antagonist, which blocks the effects of opioids completely. It’s to gradually ease you off heroin and prevent you from getting high if you try to use heroin while on Suboxone.
Vivitrol, on the other hand, is an opioid antagonist that is provided via a monthly injection. It also reduces your cravings and helps you avoid triggers.
They are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for treating opioid use disorder.
However, they are not magic pills that can cure your addiction by themselves.
They are only part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes counseling, therapy, support groups, and aftercare services.
They also have some side effects and risks that you need to be aware of, such as allergic reactions, liver problems, depression, or overdose.
That is why choosing the right medication involves a consultation with our experts, where a thoughtful analysis of your circumstances guides the decision-making process.
