About Firebrick, KY Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a pharmaceutical drug that is used to help treat individuals in Firebrick, KY 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 reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same high, and a opioid agonist that causes withdrawal symptoms if Suboxone is injected directly into the bloodstream. This medication assisted treatment (MAT) option is only available through Suboxone doctors in Firebrick, KY who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone for opioid addiction treatment. To minimize the likelihood of abuse, Suboxone doctors may require 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, however, it could only be prescribed via a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. These limitations made it difficult to access medically managed treatment for opiate addiction. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 opened the door for individual physicians 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.
