Your Path to Recovery With Dr. James Watson
The Challenge Before Suboxone:
Before the introduction of Suboxone, individuals battling opioid use disorder had limited treatment options:
1. Methadone Maintenance Centers: These required standing in long lines every morning to receive a daily dose of methadone.
2. Inpatient Detox: High-cost, inconvenient inpatient treatments that often failed to offer long-lasting recovery.
12 Hours A Year is All it Takes For Lasting Recovery
When done correctly our patients devote as little as one hour a month, to maintain their sobriety.
A Revolution in Treatment: Suboxone
In 2002, the FDA approved Suboxone, combining buprenorphine and naloxone. It helped make effective opioid use disorder treatment available in an office-based setting, allowing many patients to stabilize at home rather than relying solely on daily methadone programs or inpatient detox.
Suboxone is a highly effective medication for managing withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid dependence.
By reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, buprenorphine can help patients stabilize and focus on the broader work of recovery without being dominated by withdrawal and repeated opioid use.
What is Suboxone and How Does it Work?
Suboxone combines buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings, with naloxone, which is included primarily to discourage misuse by injection. Together, they can help patients stabilize and move forward with treatment.
Other Treatment Options
Suboxone is one of several treatment options for opioid use disorder. Depending on your needs and goals, Dr. Watson may recommend other buprenorphine medications, long-acting injections such as Sublocade or Brixadi, or naltrexone/Vivitrol. Treatment is individualized to each patient.
