Suboxone Maintenance to help battle Opioid Addiction

The Opioid Epidemic has become a national crisis in the United States, but also with cases found all around the world. As we get older, pain becomes a part of life and there's No way around it. While we try our best to manage our pain, some cases require pain medication such as opiates for everyday living. Unfortunately, for decades now, medication has been prescribed without the responsibility of informing the patient the dangers of many of these medications. Statistics highlight the severity of the epidemic, with the National Institute on Drug Abuse reporting that more than 2 million Americans currently are addicted to Opioids and even worse: More than 90 Americans die by Opioid overdose every day. 

At New Visions Medical Group, our licensed psychiatrists and nurse practitioners understand that there is a fine line between pain management and prescription dependency. In fact, detoxification is one of our main services offered at New Visions Medical Group and currently we provide detox plans for several rehabilitation centers in the Los Angeles county. Our goal is the help you become free from the grips of opiates, in a comfortable, but safe treatment plan. The biggest fear of patients who want to detox from Opiate addiction is the pain and discomfort of withdrawal. We can assure you that those suffering from Opiate addiction, don't have to detox like prior years because of medicines like Suboxone/Subutex which is a combination medication containing Buprenorphine and Naloxone, and one of the main medications used for medication-assisted therapy (MAT) for opiate addiction. Suboxone works by tightly binding to the same receptors in the brain as other opiates, such as Heroin, Morphine, and Oxycodone. By doing so, it blunts intoxication with these other drugs, it prevents cravings, and it allows many people to transition back from a life of addiction to a life of relative normalcy and safety. If you or someone you know is suffering from Opioid dependency.
