What is a Medicated-Assisted Detox for Drug Addiction?
There are a wide range of withdrawal symptoms depending on the substance abused. Many substance use disorders produce severe and even life threatening withdrawal symptoms best treated at an inpatient level of care in our medical detox facility, with medication-assisted detox. Medication-Assisted Detox is the use of medication to treat withdrawal symptoms, in combination with behavioral therapy. Often, long time prescription painkiller and heroin addicts, going through opioid withdrawal will be given a medication like Suboxone to treat their symptoms. Opioid addiction is associated with painfully uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal, which is why medical care in a detox facility, coupled with medication-assisted detox is the most effective mode of treatment. For opioid addicts, suboxone treatment is sometimes vital in a comfortable and safe detoxification process. Because suboxone is a partial opioid agonist, the active ingredients in suboxone make it almost impossible to abuse the medication.
