Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a proven approach to managing opioid use disorder (OUD) by combining FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. At ChoicePoint, we offer a Subutex Medication-Assisted Treatment Program to help individuals recover from opioid addiction in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
Suppose you or a loved one is struggling with opioid dependence. In that case, our team of medical professionals can guide you through recovery with Subutex (buprenorphine), a medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Alongside medication, we provide access to a therapist, Blue Cross Blue Shield covers, and other insurance-accepted counseling services to ensure comprehensive care.
What Is Subutex?
Subutex is a brand-name formulation of buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that helps stabilize brain chemistry, diminish withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings without producing the euphoric high associated with full opioids like heroin or oxycodone.
How Subutex Works in MAT
- Blocks Opioid Receptors: Buprenorphine binds to the same receptors as opioids but with weaker effects, preventing withdrawal.
- Reduces Cravings: By maintaining a steady state in the brain, Subutex minimizes the urge to use opioids.
- Lowers Risk of Misuse: Since it’s a partial agonist, it has a ceiling effect, reducing the potential for abuse.
Unlike Suboxone (which contains buprenorphine + naloxone), Subutex is often prescribed in early recovery or for pregnant women under medical supervision.
Who Can Benefit from Subutex Treatment?
- Subutex is ideal for individuals:
- Beginning recovery from opioid addiction
- Experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms
- Pregnant and in need of a safer alternative to full opioids
Those who have had adverse reactions to naloxone (found in Suboxone)
If you’re considering buying Suboxone online, it’s crucial to consult a doctor first, as self-medication can be dangerous. At ChoicePoint, we provide supervised MAT to ensure safety and effectiveness.
