About Port O'Brien, AK Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a pharmaceutical drug that is used to help treat individuals in Port O’Brien, AK who are struggling with addiction to opiates, whether pharmaceutical, illicitly-made, natural, or synthetic opiates. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine – a partial opioid agonist that eases withdrawal symptoms and desires to use without producing the same euphoria – and naloxone – an opioid agonist that causes withdrawal symptoms if Suboxone is injected directly into the bloodstream. This medication assisted treatment (MAT) option is uniquely accessible through a doctor licensed to prescribe Subxone in Port O’Brien, AK who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone to those seeking opioid addiction treatment. To prevent abuse, Suboxone doctors may ask that patients visit their office to take their doses at the beginning.

Methadone was previously the most common pharmaceutical treatment used for the treatment of opioid addictions, but it could only be prescribed via a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. This limited access to medically managed treatment for opioid addicts. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 created the option for individual doctors to be able to apply for a waiver, opening the door for individual doctors to prescribe Suboxone. However, there are still strict regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment, including limits to how many patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.

Choosing a Port O’Brien, AK Suboxone Doctor

There is no shortage of options when choosing a Suboxone Doctor in Port O’Brien, AK. Selecting a Doctor for Suboxone or Buprenorphine can be tough, and it is important to do your research. Suboxone is a prescription, and like many other medications, abuse is common. This is why it is critical to get lots of information and get all of your questions answered. Suboxone is not a cure for addiction, but rather one part of a recovering addict’s treatment plan. When looking for a Suboxone Doctor in Port O’Brien, AK, always make sure that they fit your needs medically, clinically, and financially.

Success Rates of Suboxone Maintenance and Medically Assisted Detox

The success rates of Suboxone and Medically Assisted Detox fluctuate considerably, mostly depending on the quality of care. Not all Suboxone Doctors or Medically Assisted Detoxes are equal. Unfortunately, there is a high rate of fraud in the healthcare system, and even the Suboxone Maintenance industry is not immune to that. To encourage a higher success rate during Suboxone Maintenance, we suggest using a trusted Suboxone Doctor.

Treatment via a Suboxone doctor can be paid for via insurance or self pay. Find out what your payment options are by reaching out to your Suboxone Doctor’s office. Keep in mind that not all doctors accept all insurance plans. If you are eligible for coverage under your insurance plan, make certain you ask them what additional out of pocket costs may be associated. Finally, always call your insurance to confirm your deductible, out of pockets, and copays prior to going to the Suboxone Doctor in Port O’Brien, AK.

Alternatives to Suboxone Treatment in Port O’Brien, AK

Suboxone is only one of the multiple treatment options for those addicted to opioids. There are alternative substances that have historically been used in Port O’Brien, AKfor opioid addiction treatment, including methadone and Naltrexone. These medications might be available to you but have different regulations. For example, only methadone clinics can administer methadone. For individuals who are ready to break free from addiction and who have access to a safe and supportive living situation, these medication assisted treatment options might work for you.

The following are indications that an individual is NOT a good candidate for Suboxone treatment:

  • Recent thoughts of suicide
  • Untreated mental health disorder
  • Pregnancy
  • Alcohol dependence
  • Previous adverse reaction to Suboxone
  • Drug interactions with other medications
  • Previous abuse of methadone or Suboxone

For individuals who are not a solid candidate for Suboxone treatment, abstinence may be the only alternative option. For individuals who plan to take this route, they can expect severe flu-like withdrawal symptoms and severe cravings. It is highly advised to contact a Port O’Brien, AKopioid detox facility that can help manage these symptoms.

Financial Considerations for Suboxone Treatment in Port O’Brien, AK

Individuals seeking out MAT options in Port O’Brien, AK will definitely need to be aware of the options available to them. Whether they are covered under private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or willing to pay cash monthly for their Suboxone treatment. There are resources available to people that fall under each of those listed scenarios. The out-of-pocket price will vary on a case by case basis which can be discussed with your local Port O’Brien, AK MAT provider. Commonly, each doctor has a cost associated with your office visit, counseling services, drug screenings, detox, or any additional medical requirements. We recommend discussing this with your individual insurance provider to find out if Suboxone treatment is covered. For Suboxone to be covered by Medicaid or Medicare it must be listed on the preferred prescription list. Additionally, only Suboxone prescribed by Medicare and Medicaid certified doctors is covered by government insurance plans. Since Suboxone is often given in an outpatient MAT program it’s often not covered by Medicare.
