About Waipahu, HI Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that is used to help treat those in Waipahu, HI who are addicted to opiates, whether pharmaceutical, illicitly-made, natural, or synthetic opiates. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone: a partial opioid agonist that relieves withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same euphoria, and a opioid agonist that causes withdrawal symptoms if Suboxone is injected directly into the bloodstream. This medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is solely available through Suboxone doctors in Waipahu, HI who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone for 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 drug used for opioid addiction management, but it could only be prescribed via a methadone clinic. These limitations made it difficult to access medically managed treatment for addiction to opioid drugs. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 made it possible for individual practitioners 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. This includes the number of patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.
