About Ugashik, AK Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that is used to help treat individuals in Ugashik, AK who are struggling with addiction to heroin, fentanyl, or any other opiate substance. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine – a partial opioid agonist that alleviates withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the same high – and naloxone – an opioid agonist that causes withdrawal symptoms if Suboxone is injected directly into the bloodstream. This medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is uniquely available through a doctor licensed to prescribe Subxone in Ugashik, AK who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone to individuals addicted to opioids and are seeking help. 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 frequently used medication 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 opiate addiction. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 made it possible for individual physicians to be able to apply for a waiver, opening the door for individual practitioners to prescribe Suboxone. However, there are still strict regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment, including limits to the number of patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.

Choosing a Ugashik, AK Suboxone Doctor

When searching for a Suboxone Doctor in Ugashik, AKthere are a number of factors to consider. To ensure success via MAT, finding a practitioner that monitors your progress closely is imperative for success. Connect with the license practitioner and ask them how closely they monitor their clients, if they ever allow patients to take a few doses of Suboxone home to be self-administered, and the length of time before they might begin sending clients home with multiple doses.

Availability, distance, and office hours are also important factors to consider when looking for a license practitioner. As a result of limits on the number of patients a license practitioner can treat, it may be challenging to find a qualified license practitioner in or near Ugashik, AK. However, if you work, go to school, or have a family that relies on you, then traveling a long distance every day for your Suboxone treatment might not be practical. Our directory or helpline can assist you in locating a license practitioner whose location and office hours work well for you and who is currently taking new patients.
