We offer several different types of opioid and alcohol
addiction treatment options:

SUBUTEX

Opioid Addiction Treatment, Suboxone, Buprenorphine, SubutexBuprenorphine has been shown to be a safe and effective addiction treatment during pregnancy. Expectant mothers please, give us a call at (239) 498-5760 for more information. Buprenorphine is the active ingredient in Subutex. Subutex is used to treat dependence/addiction to opioids. Buprenorphine belongs to a class of drugs called mixed opioid agonist-antagonists. It helps prevent withdrawal symptoms caused by stopping other opioids. It is used as part of a complete addiction treatment program for drug abuse.

SUBOXONE

SUBOXONE (otherwise known as buprenorphine and naloxone) is a prescription medication used to treat adults to help suppress withdrawal signs and symptoms in who are dependent on or addicted to opioids. SUBOXONE contains active ingredients buprenorphine and naloxone:

  • Buprenorphine is the primary active ingredient in SUBOXONE Film. By attaching to the same receptors as other opioids, it can help to suppress withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings
  • Naloxone is included to help prevent misuse. If you are dependent on a full opioid agonist and attempt to inject SUBOXONE Film, the naloxone is likely to cause withdrawal signs and symptoms

SUBOXONE is widely used a replacement for Methadone treatment because SUBOXONE can be prescribed by doctors in their offices, while Methadone can only be provided at specialized addiction centers. SUBOXONE was one of the first two narcotics to be made available under the Drug Abuse Treatment Act of 2000 to help solve the growing shortage of addiction treatment options.
 
SUBOXONE should be used as part of a complete treatment plan that also includes counseling and psychosocial support and should be initiated under the direction of physicians qualified under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act.

VIVITROL

VIVITROL Is an antagonist or blocking medication.
Antagonists attach to opioid receptors, but do not cause the release of dopamine. They are non-addictive and do not lead to physical dependence. Antagonists create a barrier that blocks opioid molecules from attaching to opioid receptors. VIVITROL blocks opioid receptors in the brain for one month at a time, helping patients to prevent relapse to opioid dependence, following detox, while they focus on counseling.
 

ORAL NALTREXONE

Oral Naltrexone has been used to treat opioid dependence for many years and has also been approved to treat alcohol use disorders (AUDs) since 1994. Naltrexone reduces both the rewarding effects of alcohol and craving for it. Oral Naltrexone is another treatment option offered for alcohol dependence.
 

SUBLOCADE™
