Addiction Q & A
How is addiction treated?
Addiction is a complex disease, and often requires multiple therapies and treatments to confront its effects. At Psymed Solutions, the health care professionals help patients to develop treatment plans that work best for them. And because the team offers an integrated approach, addiction can also be handled alongside co-occurring issues through the practice’s medical and psychiatric services. Whether you’re struggling with substance abuse or alcoholism, addiction shouldn’t be dealt with alone. The treatments Psymed Solutions offers are meant to get patients back on their feet faster. The practice offers medication-assisted therapy (Suboxone therapy) in addition to more traditional treatment programs.
How does Suboxone therapy work?
Suboxone is used to treat opiate addiction, and the medical field has been seeing an increase in the use of Suboxone recently as it has been shown to produce results. It works by delivering a very small amount of opioids to a patient addicted to a much stronger version of the drug. Since going cold-turkey is extremely difficult and can be painful, Suboxone offers a way for patients to slowly wean off their addiction without experiencing withdrawal effects in a profound way. At Psymed Solutions, the health care team finds that Suboxone can be a good first step in the treatment of an opioid addiction.
