About Athens, NY Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a medication that is used to help treat individuals in Athens, NY 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 medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is only available through Suboxone doctors in Athens, NY who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone to those seeking opioid addiction treatment. To avoid abuse, Suboxone doctors may ask that patients come and take their dose at their office for the first weeks or months.

Methadone was previously the most common medication used for the treatment of opioid addictions, but it could only be prescribed via a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. This limited access to MAT for opioid addicts. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 opened the door for individual practitioners to be able to apply for a waiver, allowing them to prescribe Suboxone. to note that there are still many rules and regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment. This includes how many patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.
