About Folkston, GA Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that is used to help treat individuals in Folkston, GA who are struggling with addiction to heroin, fentanyl, or any other opiate substance. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. This medically assisted treatment (MAT) option is only available through Suboxone doctors in Folkston, GA who are specially qualified to prescribe Suboxone for opioid addiction treatment. To avoid abuse, Suboxone doctors may demand that patients come and take their dose at their office for the first weeks or months.

Methadone was previously the most widely accepted drug used for the treatment of opioid addictions, however, it could only be prescribed via a methadone clinic. These limitations made it difficult to access medication managed treatment for opioid addicts. 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. However, there are still many rules and regulations for these doctors that limit treatment, including limits to how many patients they are able to treat for opioid addiction.
