About Snead, AL Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a medication that is used to help treat those in Snead, AL 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 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 Snead, AL who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone to people addicted to opioids and are seeking help. To minimize the likelihood of abuse, Suboxone doctors may ask that patients visit their office to take their doses for the first weeks or months.

Before the year 2000, Methadone was the most frequently used drug used for opioid addiction management, but it could only be prescribed via a clinic licensed for methadone treatment. These limitations made it difficult to access medically managed treatment for addiction to opioid drugs. 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. It is important to[be aware that there are still many rules and regulations for these doctors that limit treatment. This includes how many patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.
