Medical Team Controlled Opiate Detoxification And Maintenance (Through Utilization of Suboxone) Program

At Brookside Institute we have realized a strong need for individuals seeking opiate detox and opiate recovery to find a facility that approaches patient care with a more engaging and professional plan. We are proud to be able to offer an inpatient opiate detox program that offers not only a sheltered living environment, but also assisted detox with suboxone administration. Additionally, we offer our clients an opportunity to participate in therapeutic and CBT groups while undergoing detox.

Support Your Detox With Relapse Prevention Group Therapies And Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Patients who have completed a primary phase of detox still need a strong recovery-oriented structure while they adjust to living sober, and our plan provides access to the same therapeutic groups and suboxone treatment on an outpatient basis. Opiates can have a devastating effect on anyone who uses, and the withdrawl and detoxification period can be a long and painful process. Our utilization of Suboxone, which that contains both buprenorphine and the opiate antagonist naloxone, is intended to be the formulation used in maintenance treatment of opiate addiction. Naloxone has been added to Suboxone to guard against intravenous abuse of buprenorphine by individuals physically dependent on opiates.

Buprenorphine offers a more comfortable withdrawal from opiates during detox

Among addictive drugs, opiate withdrawal has proven the most difficult. From the heroin addict to the new breed of prescription drug addict, the problems of withdrawal remain the same. Buprenorphine offers a more comfortable withdrawal from opiates during detox, including oxycontin, heroin and prescription drugs, freeing the patient to focus on other primary issues of recovery. Opiates imitate and are chemically almost identical to the body's own pain management drugs, endorphins, opiate addicts in withdrawal experience greater pain than the average person. Suboxone treatment requires a doctor to have a special liscence to administer, and our staff are qualified in the prescription and administration of suboxone for opiate detox.
