About Alpena, MI Suboxone Doctors

Suboxone is a FDA-approved medication that is used to help treat individuals in Alpena, MI who are addicted 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 euphoria – 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 Suboxone doctors in Alpena, MI who have completed addiction requirements to prescribe Suboxone to people addicted to opioids and are seeking help. To prevent abuse, Suboxone doctors may demand that patients visit their office to take their doses at the beginning.

Methadone was previously the most widely accepted 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 opiate addiction. The Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 opened the door for individual doctors 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 strict regulations these doctors must follow that limit treatment, including limits to the number of patients they are able to treat for addiction to painkillers and other opiates.

Choosing a Alpena, MI Suboxone Doctor

A few common factors that are smart to consider when in search of a physician include whether they are accepting new patients, how far they are from the patient, and if their office hours work with the individual’s schedule As a result of limits on the number of patients a license practitioner can treat, it may be challenging to identify a qualified license practitioner in or near Alpena, MI.
