About Lakemont, PA Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a medication that is used to help treat those in Lakemont, PA who are addicted to heroin, fentanyl, or any other opioid drug. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This medication assisted treatment (MAT) option is uniquely accessible through a doctor licensed to prescribe Subxone in Lakemont, PA who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone to individuals addicted to opioids and are seeking help. To prevent abuse, Suboxone doctors may require that patients come and take their dose at their office for the first weeks or months.

Before the year 2000, Methadone was the most frequently used drug used for the treatment of opioid addictions, with the caveat that it could only be distributed by a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. These limitations made it difficult to access MAT for addiction to opioid drugs. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 made it possible for individual doctors to be able to apply for a waiver, allowing them to prescribe Suboxone. It is important to[be aware that there are still strict regulations for these doctors that limit treatment, including limits to how many patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.
