About East Ridge, TN Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a pharmaceutical substance that is used to help treat those in East Ridge, TN who are addicted to heroin, fentanyl, or any other opiate substance. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone: a partial opioid agonist that alleviates 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 medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is solely available through Suboxone doctors in East Ridge, TN 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.

Before the year 2000, Methadone was the most common medication used for opioid addiction management, however, it could only be prescribed via a methadone clinic. These limitations made it difficult to access MAT for opiate addiction. 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. It is important to[be aware that there are still strict regulations for these doctors that limit treatment, including limits to the number of patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.

Choosing a East Ridge, TN Suboxone Doctor

There is no shortage of options when choosing a Suboxone Doctor in East Ridge, TN. Selecting a Doctor for Suboxone or Buprenorphine can be cumbersome, 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 important 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 East Ridge, TN, always be certain that they match what you are looking for.

Success Rates of Suboxone Maintenance and Medically Assisted Detox

An addictive substance in itself, there is lots of uncertainty on whether Suboxone actually helps individuals who are dependant on opioids. Some addicts have said to have experienced great success with Suboxone treatment, but others were not as lucky. One study reported that 49% of participants abused prescription painkillers at a reduced rate while on Suboxone, but only 8.6% exhibited success once the Suboxone treatment ended. Other studies did not show long term recovery with a less than 10% success rate once treatment stopped, including cases where behavioral therapy was provided concurrently.

Alternatives to Suboxone Treatment in East Ridge, TN

Addiction is one of the many diseases without a cure. Consequently, there is a lot of contention regarding what the best treatment plan is. The dichotomy of arguments are either that abstinence is the best option or that it is better to be kept alive by Suboxone than to risk overdosing. In summary, there isn’t a consensus; however, when following the prescribed instructions of a licensed Suboxone Doctor in East Ridge, TN, you have a much greater chance of success.

Insurance coverage or Self pay options in East Ridge, TN

Whether they are eligible for coverage under private health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or willing to pay cash monthly for their Suboxone treatment. There are resources accessible to patients that meet each of those listed scenarios. The out-of-pocket price will differ depending on numerous factors which can be discussed with your local East Ridge, TN Suboxone doctor. Often, each provider has a cost associated with your office visit, counseling services, drug screenings, detox, or any additional medical requirements. Please check 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.
