Addiction is one of the most pressing mental health issues in this country. Over the past few decades, the opioid crisis has ballooned to new heights, wrecking lives and tearing families apart. There are many individuals who would like to break their addiction yet they simply do not know how. Often, when people try to stop an addiction cold-turkey, they go into withdrawal. This can include pains, shakes, chills, and, in some cases, even seizures. Because of this, it is important for everyone to know that there is a better way. There is a way to treat addiction with medication, allowing someone to come off of their addiction ready for a fresh start and a new beginning..
While Renaissance Recovery Center does not provide the following medication options for treatment, we feel it is important for those researching to know the typical options provided when in a detox environment. Should any of our clients choose to detox, we have some of the best relationships with detox recovery centers in Arizona state.
An Overview of Suboxone Assisted Treatment in Arizona
Suboxone is a medication that has been used both alone and in combination with other medications to help individuals beat their addiction. Suboxone and Vivitrol/Suboxone assisted treatment in Arizona can work in someone's brain to help them break their addiction to opioid medications. A few of the examples of ways that this treatment method has been used include breaking addictions to:
- Hydrocodone
- Oxycodone
- Fentanyl
- Morphine
Suboxone is a combination medication of buprenorphine and naloxone. Naloxone treatment in Arizona functions by working on specific receptors in the brain. These receptors are the same receptors that are wired when someone takes a narcotic medication. On the other hand, when someone takes Suboxone, they do not get the "high" that is so addictive and occurs with opioids. This helps someone come off of their addiction.
Naltrexone Medication-Assisted Treatment Treatment in Arizona
Another option for medication-assisted treatment is called Naltrexone. This medication has been used to treat medication addictions, such as heroin, but is also used to treat those who are addicted to alcohol. Studies have shown that it can be effective when used in combination with counseling, therapy, and other medications. Recovering addicts who take this medication do not experience the same "high" that they get when taking an addictive substance. This helps people break their addictive patterns because they no longer experience any reward from taking an addictive substance. As a result, Vivitrol treatment has become a major part of addiction treatment all over the country.
